Knitting Blog Week Day 4 - A new skill
Today's theme of the Knitting Crochet Blog Week is not a very easy one for me: a new skill I would like to learn.
I mean, sure, there are loads of skills I'd like to learn, but not one or two that I would have been thinking about a while or anything that I'd be actively working on right now (well, apart from designing, but I won't get into that this time).
As much as I would love to improve my intarsia skills, I don't have an intarsia project going on at the moment. I always say some day I will learn to crochet, but apparently the wish is not strong enough for me to actually pick up the hook!
But you know what - I don't mind. I'm learning and improving my skills with every project I make, even if it's not conscious or planned. In the last year I've come a long way from a lace novice to having made several beautiful, even intricate lace shawls. I'm sure that when the intarsia bug bites me and I'll start a project using this tehcnique, my skills will develop in no time.
Oh, and the tag for today's post is knitcroblo4 (search this in a search engine and you'll find many other participants of the Blog Week)
I've enjoyed your posts this week, it's nice to look back and think about how you've progressed, and what else you want to tackle.

Submitted by Allison on Thu, 29/04/2010 - 19:51.Oh I know that so well. I can do basic chain-stitches but nothing more. I've already some crochte-project in my queue because they look so awesome but so far I simply couldn't bring myself to actually try it.
(But I've bought a crochet-boook now. I will do it. I will do it. Yes!)
