About 2 months ago my mother got one of those Goupon's for a knitting class. A few weeks ago we finally had a Saturday morning we both were free, so we went. Riss wanted to learn to so we made it into a mother/daughter/granddaughter day. It was so much fun! Granted I think we messed up (me more then them) and started over more then we accomplished but it was fun. The ladies teaching the class, start you off learning how to knit snitch and create a scarf. They say that is the easiest way to learn, well my hands did not catch that memo! ha ha...I would mess up to the point we had to just tear it all out and start over. So discouraging to someone like me who is OCD about a lot of things and learning something is probably the biggest one. She would pearl snitch me back to the spot I messed up. And watching her pearl snitch half a dozen times I actually think my hands and mind would follow that direction a little better. We have another class soon and hopefully she can teach me that way. Riss actually caught on pretty quickly and has been practicing on her scarf a lot. Mom is like me, we mess up and get frustrated with it we stop till another time. So ours have not been worked on as much.
I am not sure how much each of us well continue knitting , but it sure was nice to take a class and learn something new together. I will post a picture later of our final masterpiece!!
