Knit, Pearl, Knit, Pearl...

Kit, pearl & repeat... At least five years ago my Grand Mother OMA taught me how to knit stitch. Since then I have made countless scarfs by simply using ONE stitch- the knit stitch!! Sounds like it may be to rudimentary but I found that simple stitch a way to turn off my brain& relax!

One lazy Saturday afternoon, Connie and I found ourselves exploring old downtown Lawrenceville. We came across quite a few unique stores. One of which was a Knitting store named "Yarn Garden Knit Shop". Because of my Kniting & Crochet experience I was dying to go inside. The colors of yarn looked like a candy store!

Connie and I were both inspired by the completed pieces hanging on the walls and the friendliness of the staff! We were encouraged to look at the class schedule! Finally, I had my chance to learn, from seasoned pros, the final stitch required to make more interesting pieces- the "pearl" stitch.

We signed up a week later to take the beginner class. Connie learned the knit stitch and I learned my missing piece to the puzzle...here is the scarf (still in process) that we are putting together from the class.


I adore knitting and crochet! The ladies at the shop said that to knit all you need to know are two stitches. Now that I know them both the sky is the limit! LOL, well...I still need a lot of practicing pearling but, I have high hopes!
