Knitting+Elective

Thank you for joining in at the Knitting Elective. Hope you had fun and will continue to practise knitting in the future. Below is some useful web links to help you if you get stuck. PLEASE CHECK WITH A PARENT THAT YOU ARE ALLOWED YOU TO USE THE INTERNET BEFORE GETTING STARTED. ** Some really good “You Tube” videos to watch and learn and PRACTISE with!! **  Sorry couldn’t find a good video about tightening your tension....BUT think about keeping hold of the wool throughout the stitch and pulling wool at the end of each stitch. Practise, practise, practise, you are aiming for stitches that slide easily on your needles and work that looks even and has no gaps or holes. The longer you keep at it the better you will get!!  ** Some great websites you can visit for all things Knitting, including patterns!!! **  __ [] __  __ [] __ ** Knitting Supplies **   Wool used in the elective: Passion, Red 100GM available from Spotlight in Panmure. Spotlight has all sorts of knitting items, including patterns, needles etc  Other local suppliers to try: The Warehouse, Kmart and many sewing shops will stock wool and needles also thread needles suitable for tidying your work and hiding loose ends etc, ask for a needle with large eye suitable for use with wool in knitting.  Good luck with your knitting, you have all done a great job!!
