A ball of black yarn and a double-ended needle on a white surface. No stitches knitted yet.
OK. So the new “learn a new skill to keep your brain working” for me is the continental style of #knitting - & hopefully learning two-colour knitting using a different hand for each colour. This is going to be fun after 60? years of “non-continental” knitting. #nimbleneedles videos look pretty good.
I bought small knitting machine needles, so mine works for pretty thin stuff. Norman of #NimbleNeedles (YouTube) made his by using latch hooks, removing the handles, & creating a handle out of Fimo.
I used paint sticks, carved out the space for the needles w/ a Dremel & glued it all together.
Free porcini mushroom knitting pattern from Norman of Nimble Needles. I follow him on YouTube, his tutorials are amazing. The mushroom link is here: nimble-needles.com/patterns/kni...

In the small accomplishments: I learned the tubular cast-on! Dunno if Norman from nimble needles is on, but thanks for your videos!
