So far it is pretty straightforward. I had to make my mark and changed the stitch used, but nothing much really. I chose the Little Giants top - and I love the colour (Forest Green) - I am really happy I spent time working out what it would look like. Knitting with 15 mm needles goes fast but I must admit is a bit awkward.
I am really curious to see how this is going to turn out. I may add that the kit is a bit pricey but would make a lovely present for someone who would like to get into knitting. I am wondering if you will see this finished as a top or something else - I will definitely use this yarn for a project!
Have you ever knitted from a kit? From WATG or other suppliers? Would you consider it?
As you know, Nat, I am not a knitter but the colour and stitch you are doing look fantastic. But they do look more suited to a heavier jumper or a scarf. Whatever you make I am sure it will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI haven't but if I liked the look of what was inside I probably would buy it. Those needles look like they are nice quality
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a kit but I've always thought that they would make a great gift. I think the top will fit even if your gauge is off. Looks like it's a pretty forgiving design. The stitch pattern is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm not a knitter either but that yarn looks gorgeous, as does the top! I'm all for chunky!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried a knit kit. I'm afraid it'd be too limiting---I like to be able to pick out all the elements myself, individually.
ReplyDeleteThough, the patterns and designs at Wool & the Gang look great. This top in particularly is going to look great. (And it looks like a quick knit!)
Can't wait to see how it turns out - it looks like a lovely stitch.
ReplyDeleteBeing a new knitter I haven't knit from a kit but I think I'd actually be willing to give it a go, depending on the project
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that there were knitting kits! Perhaps there is hope for me to learn how after all :)
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
It is a beautiful color Nat. I've never done a project from a kit, but it actually sounds interesting. I love those needles too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful color. The yarn looks soft and warm. I like how you can layer with that top. What do the letters on the ends of your needles mean?
ReplyDeleteIt is the initials of Wool and the Gang - I don't have (yet) needles with my initials, but should be thinking about it!
DeleteThose Wool and the Gang kits always look so awesome, and I'm really interested to see how yours turns out ! the yarn and fabric look lovely, though. Such great texture.
ReplyDeleteI've never knitted from a kit but that top looks great! I like the stitch you're using :)
ReplyDeleteI've never used a kit and probably won't use one in the future... Not that I dislike them, but I've never felt inclined to them (apart from the "AbFab" shawls that were all the rage years ago). That said, your knit is looking fabulous. What a lovely deep green! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
