During week two, I began to work towards my final project. Although I have never knitted before, I decided to try it out. I began by visiting a knitting store in Newton called Putting On The Knitz. When I walked in, a calm, and seemingly happy elderly couple was sitting at the table knitting. They asked if there was anything I needed help with, and I said that I was new to knitting, but was interested in starting my first project.Together we searched through a book that had several different patterns, some easier then others. As soon as we arrived at this pattern, I knew that this was the project I wanted to complete (because I love Patagonias, and this sweater resembles a Patagonia).
They walked around their store and grabbed all of the materials I would need- different sized needles, different colors of yarn, and markings for the knitting. As you can see from this picture, I didn't get very far within the first week- but I was just learning the basics!
