I think technically I’m still considered a new knitter. I mean, I consider myself a new knitter.
After all I’ve only been knitting for about 4 or 5 months now. Maybe at this
point an advance beginner, but a newb nonetheless.
As I tackle and complete each new knitting project I like to
keep a running mental list of all the skills I’m learning. I’d also like to share it. I’m curious, is
there a standard order of skills that people learn when knitting? Or do
knitters typically learn skills based on their own interest?
My skill list (at the time of this writing)
Long tail cast on
Knit
Purl (and several stitches based on combo’s of these)
Bind off in knit stitch
Bind off in purl stitch
Knitting in the round
Decreases on DPN
Weaving in
The Trinity Stitch (and everything that entails)
Fair Isle – I followed a pattern, used 2 colors on each row,
and learned how to secure long carries in the back. Boom.
Make one – I know how to do this but don’t really like
fooling with increases and decreases right now. They are very intimidating.
Slip one purl wise
Slip one knit wise –I’m still struggling to really grasp why
this matters
Unknit my knits
Unpurl my purls
Cable's
I’m sure there is a couple of skills I’m forgetting, but I’m
quite impressed with myself.
How about the rest of you, how did you all pick up your
skills and in what order?
