A BEGINNER-KNITTER RANTS
There is a part of me, that looks at all of the patterns in the knitting books and says, 'That looks logical - We can figure that out'.
And there is the other part of me, that looks at the same pattern and says, to the first, 'Not without a WHOLE LOT of tears...'
Some people call them the right and left brain ;o)
Anyway, I'm looking through my stack of knitting books... I've looked
through them a million times before. The right brain - the geometrical part, is telling me to try. It is measuring lengths and counting stitches.
My left brain is nice and logical -- telling me to take things slowly, look for great tutorials and remember what worked. If I got it to work once, maybe it will work again, maybe not. Logical and pessimistic can sometimes overlap.
So I guess I will just try to see what comes out.
