A new craft-related blog
Posted by Leah on Feb 13, 2007
My friend Derek, who is a woodturner, just started a blog that showcases craft related videos every day. It’s a fun concept, and he’s already found a few interesting videos.
I watched the knitting video on his blog earlier today, and learned that I’m a continental knitter - I had no idea! I learned to knit a few years ago, hoping that it would translate easily to wire, so that I could knit silver jewelry. I had trouble getting the tension to work in metal, and ended up crocheting with silver instead - but since then I’ve knit quite a few scarves and other easy projects with yarn. All this time, apparently I’ve been knitting the opposite of the way most Americans knit, and I didn’t even know.
