Relaxing and Comfortable Knitting
The general mindset expected when engaging in the hobby of knitting is to be able to enjoy it in a relaxed and comfortable environment. It provides a chance for finding a profound peace of mind while at the same time creating something worthwhile. It is unhurried pleasure coupled with productivity. The following are necessary in attaining this mental state.
Find a cozy place where sitting, even on a prolonged duration, will not cause undue pain or pressure. There should be no need to slump or assume a drooping posture or any unusual position for any length of time.
Have sufficiently bright light that would not strain the eyes, especially when working on dark yarns of varying colors and hues. If possible have a goose-neck lamp which could be very useful when an area have to be focused on.
Grip the needles loosely and naturally to eliminate strain on the hands. A tight grip would simply result in uneven work. Keeping the fingers close to the ends of the needles allow them to move just a small distance thus keeping work to an absolute minimum. Stitches done as close as feasible to the tips of the needles prevent the work from stretching and enable an easier transition from one hold to another. Also, let both hands do equal work, even alternately if practical, to add flexibility to the ability to do work.
It is natural and expected that the beginning knitter experience the following difficulties early in the pursuit of the hobby. With constant practice and regular programs, they all will surely disappear in due time.
Slow progress - technical reasons like awkward hold on the needles, lacking full control on tightness of the yarn, unfamiliarity with techniques, all contribute. Mostly, however, it is impatience that gives the greatest bother. The situation and style undoubtedly improves as time goes on.
Uneven portions unsteady hold on the needles and irregular handling of the yarn can cause this very common problem. Assessment of the particular procedure is in order and then re-adapted to suit the individual methodology.
Dropping and unraveling of stitches experience will teach each practitioner the best personal method to be adopted and adjusted when necessary. Eye-hand coordination with secondary help from arms, neck, shoulders, even the mouth, will eventually be developed.
Inconsistency in size unequal and irregular pull on the yarn when making the purl and knit stitches is the usual culprit. Constant conscious effort to control the force exerted will eventually become more automatic and orderly.
Uneven length in a symmetrical project in garments especially, this can cause distress and perhaps utter discouragement. Usually it is result of not set patterns for the purl row and the knit row. Technical aids like pins, markers, tape measurement all play important roles and must be utilized fully.
It may a bit funny yet factual to remember that knitting was actually originally developed when stay-at-home elderly folks simply wanted something to do to while away idle hours. It is thus considered to be an affront to this basic image when the starting knitter would want to do it in a hurried and headlong manner.
