Hello~

It has been a long time since I have written back to you about my process of the work... X3

Well, the work that I can ever done is only long scarf, but I'm still satisfied about my own creattion. May I ask, is there anyother easy knitting work that I can be working on next???

I also have one question that has been kept in my mind a long time. Whenever I'm trying to do the Stockinette stitch, they always will curled up together into a roller, which is very frustrated. What should I do to make it... not roll up itself and stay as flat as possible???

Stockinette stitch will always curl - there is nothing you can do about that. If you use a natural fiber like cotton or wool you can use an iron to flatten it out, but it will still curl. If you add a garter sitch border that will help a lot.

Outside of scarves, dishcloths, hats, and other stuff usually labeled with 'easy' in the title is pretty good beginning projects.

Hello~ The other day I was thinking what will I do after my work is done, and I was thinking a blanket or something... But I don't know what can you do besides scarf and blanket for the needles, and may I ask how much did you spent your yarn for the blanket?

The yrn I got for cheap. Hobby Lobby around here sells 3-packs of 500-ish yard Sugar and Creme yarn for about $12 with the 40% coupon you can print off their website. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby or a store that sells the 3-pack of the cotton yarn...a blanket can be very expensive if you want to use something outside of cheap acrylic yarn. For beginning projects you can make with squares/rectangles lots of things: rugs, bags, scarves, potholders, patchwork blankets, cozies, and other things. Let your imagination run wild!

Thanks. Yesterday I got taught in tight situation. I was going to change the color in my scarf because I want to write letters, but found out that when you want to change it back it's impossible (because you will left a line to show everything) and I searched online for solutions. It did said that there are two ways to knit alphabets, but I don't understand. One is sew it on, and the other... too hard to understand...

I'm not a person who will understand it by reading, but by looking at the videos to understand. Do you have an idea where can I learn better in words?

I don't want to discourage you, but letter work and such in knitting is an intermediate to advanced technique and I'm afraid you'll find yourself overwhelmed like you are now. For your first projects you need to practice keeping your gauge tight and even and remembering how to do everything. For color work I highly suggest just doing stripes for now and work your way to understanding advanced techniques.

Hi, when I saw your tutorial and your work, it gives me the feeling of wanting to knit as well, and now, my sister and I haven fallen in love in knitting. Although I couldn't knit as magnificent as yours, but I will try until the day I succeed. Although there are some questions I wanted to ask and don't know if you could help me (it involves in knitting), please?
