My1st finished project photos

Cher, I had a few loose strands on the back side. I ended up going to the neighbors but she just wanted to hide it. I'm not going to ask her anymore for help. I want to learn RIGHT and not just try to cover up mistakes. I ended up watching a video from here at

watched it several times than tried it and got it. YEHA.THEN.........while working with those double pointed needles in the =round the bulk of the yarn seemed to be up toward me as it is curling =and making it awkward. I'm knitting the way the teacher handed it to me. =She is left handed is that what is messing me up? I was working farthest =away from me again.Well, I took some photos and asked questions on a forum I was on and I think I have it figured out.The first photo is how it was and the second and third photo is how it is now. Hope I have it right. Cher.......you're the best,Susie

Nora, Thanks a lot. :) Are you the one from NY????? Or do I have you confused with someone else? Susie in northern NY

Hi Susie,

Congratulations on the finished hat, it looks lovely. How you are holding your blue piece looks fine to me. While the knitting is still short is can easily flip to inside out when knitting in the round, and stocking stitch does curl a lot. I'd suggest tying a piece of contrasting yarn round any stitch and have the ends sticking out on the right V side. This way you can tell at a glance which side should be facing you while you're knitting.

Sue, Thanks for liking my hat. :) Ok, thanks for the tip, Susie

Hi Susie,

I just realized I wasn't very clear. If you use a piece of contrast yarn tie it round some already completed stitch a little way down the knitting, not a stitch still on the needles.

Hi Sue, That's the way I took it. :) Thanks, that ought to help, Susie

Wow, Susie! Congratulations on finishing your first project. Good job!
