Hi, I'm a student at Daylesford Secondary College. A small country town College. My teacher decided to make us knit for a class every week. I, as well as my class mates were apprehensive at first. After my first efforts I nearly gave up then and there. But as the old saying goes "Practice makes perfect" so I endeavored with my knitting. With a few holes here and there it most certainly wasn't perfect. My 'square' grew gradually, it didn't look like a square but more like a skirt. But my teacher…See More
Hi, I'm a student at Daylesford Secondary College. A small country town College. My teacher decided to make us knit for a class every week. I, as well as my class mates were apprehensive at first. After my first efforts I nearly gave up then and there. But as the old saying goes "Practice makes perfect" so I endeavored with my knitting. With a few holes here and there it most certainly wasn't perfect. My 'square' grew gradually, it didn't look like a square but more like a skirt. But my teacher had an idea to make it into a woolen beanie. Once the finished product was completed. My teacher was very proud of my efforts. I was just glad it was made into something, being what a a horrid square that it was. So I enjoyed knitting in the end. All it takes is a little concentration and a whole lot of practice.
Here's a pic of the finished product.

- Hi Andrew, welcome to our warm KAS community. We hope you will enjoy the forum and your region's group. You should join the Downunder Group!
There are lots of great discussions going on in the forum, including the monthly challenges. Although I loved your contribution already!
We are still continuing our July Challenge - keep a newborn warm, making blankets for abandoned babies, and there have been some great results for the August in Africa challenge - you can see photographs under the photos menu. (Details of both challenges in the main forum). We're also embarking on our September challenge which is also under "challenges" in the forum.
