I'm trying to revive my near-extinct knitting skills so I took myself off to Winnie's Craft Cafe where I sipped tea from a china cup, munched on a delicious shortbread freebie and lost myself in colour and texture. A feast of yarns,patterns,crafty gifts, toys and kits.
The knitting experts there suggested easy knits to give me a quick fix and encourage me to keep clicking.
I chose easy knit accessories in garter stitch, no jumpers just yet....

Initial panic. Cast on 16 stitches -thumb method....What's that?? Luckily thumb remembered.
Same flutter with panic when time came to cast off. Got there.Phew!
Then a fringe problem with a scarf.
Went onto You-tube and watched a video called Knitting help-Adding fringe.
Needed a crochet hook. for this. Thumbs a bit clumsy but managed to make an uneven fringe.
And the results are a bit rough !!! But hey, I'm a beginner.....
