2KCBWDAY6 - Something to Aspire To


Day 6: Is there a pattern or skill that you don't yet feel ready to tackle but which you hope to tackle in the future, near or distant?

There's not really a pattern that I'm dying to make, but don't think I can. I feel like I'm at the point in my knitting where I can look at almost any pattern and think to myself, "yeah, I can make that.". A skill I need to work on though is designing. So far, all of my designs have been pretty basic - cowls, scarves, hats and fingerless mitts, and it's time to branch out. 


I have a notebook full of sketches of sweaters, cardigans, and even a coat - it's time to act on them. I'm about to start designing my first garment, and I will admit, I'm a little nervous. I know it's mostly all about the math, which I totally love, but I'm still a bit intimidated. I have a feeling once I get going, it won't be as difficult as I think, but it's taking that first step that's stressing me out. Just gotta keep telling myself I can do it, right? Because without confidence, we can't do anything!

  1. Designing is so fun! It makes your knitting so much more rewarding (and take sooo much longer...) Good luck on your new goals!

  2. You can do it...if you want to! I'm happy designing accessories; I don't have the desire to design sweaters at this point.

  4. Yes, you can do it! It's all about trial and error and patience and perseverance. I'm a newbie at designing and will get back to my first design but your hat that you had created is inspiring!
