Obviously, we had a substantial, exciting week in the knitting room. We started get in touch with knitting and learned some basic way to knit a fabric on knitting machine

Monday
   As I wrote before, we learn to ‘casting on ’on the machine, and used the ‘transfer stick’ to knit different pattern.

Tuesday
  A new way to knit lace and ‘draw ’colourful fabric, we try to add some yarn and fabric on it to make it look special. I had a problem about knitting. Specifically, I tried to make the pattern of mosaic, but yarn could not be casted on.

Thursday
 Finally, we learned how to casting off, and I knitted a completed piece. But it’s very basic, which means, I need to plan to design the shape and colour on the fabric in this weekend.

In november ,we have learned 'pattern knitting' and 'triangle making' in these week,which is some technique about knitting something in different shapes and be add some clear colour. The most of the time we spend on practicing and making our final sample. For in case, I made a plan for my practicing and experiment, but though the result, the plan maybe not that successful.

i cannot do all of it as completely the same as my thought . For instance, it's quite difficult to make some cross pattern which might look like mosaic in a way, because I cannot push close stitch forward in the same time.(the yarn will drop off) although it will be quick if I use crochet, I want to make it by using new technique of knitting on knitting machine. So I did a piece first and casted off it with hole when I finish the row. Then I continue to knit on it again. It totally different from the first time I thought, but I change to another way.

In fact, there are still some piece that I cannot made as I want. Like: I wanted to knit a lace but it fall
