New Year and New Tricks



Well it's about time that I learned a few new knitting skills so I've compiled a list. I wrote out my list right after Jan. 1st but I've lost and refound it several times, so decided I better put it somewhere safe. This year I'd like to learn :
Provisional cast on
Entrelac
Intarsia
Beading a knitted item
Advance my meager crochet skills
Brioche
Nupps
Moebius
Continental knitting
Contiguous
Fair Isle
Make a toy (poor Sheldon)
Cable without a cable needle
Toe up socks

I'll probably come up with a few things to add to this list, but figure this is a healthy start.

My first "trick" was cables without a cable needle. I've got the hang of it, but have only done three items with cable to the front, so I can't quite check it off yet......but I'm still happy with all three projects. Next to find a pattern with cables to the front and back.
