Recently, #Skacel yarn company challenged the knitting community to create #10,000NewKnitters in one day. They provided free kits to new knitters to make a pair of fingerless mitts in partnership with established knitters.
On November 10, 2018, newbie knitters and established knitters across the country gathered to participate, and we joined in! My daughter's girl scout troop members were thrilled to learn how to knit, and we sat down together for an afternoon of fun.
Skacel provided the pattern, a set of size 8 knitting needles, and a skein of super-wash merino wool.
After watching a tutorial provided by Skacel, the girls enthusiastically tackled the long tail cast-on.
The cast-on was tricky, but everyone worked hard until the skill was (mostly) mastered.
On to the knit stitch!!!
Success!
One down, one to go!!!
What an awesome thing - learning a new skill and having fun while doing it!
Thanks for reading! Have a Knit-tastic Day!
