Knitting Samples Two

In comparison to yesterday's disastrous workshop, today's knitting has been very enjoyable! I am feeling a lot more confident on the machine, and have produced some new samples for my technical file. We've been taught the idea of transferring stitches,  in both a lace hole, and ladder effect. It seems really difficult until you actually have a go, and even then, things go wrong, but successful sampling comes after a few attempts! I have already started to look at how these ideas can be incorporated into my sketchbook, and hopefully when I've learnt a few more techniques I'll be able to start experimenting a bit more with different yarns.
