RE: How to cast on for combination knitting and western knitting
Huh, Very cool way to cast on...I will give it a try. Thank you!
I think I never got to comment on your Eastern/Western knit pearl, but I do both like you do. My grandmother taught me, and I have no clue where she learned...but she is right handed, and I am left handed. It was hours sitting across from her to mirror what she did. She was very patient :)
I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to learn knitting with a mirrored movement... I sometimes try to crochet left handed but fail miserly. I learned knitting from my mom, but when I was younger I was totally uninterested in crafts (sadly)
It was tedious learning, to say the least, but I am so glad now that my grandmother was insistent. She used to tell me that the world can change, but we will always need shoes and clothing, so I needed to learn how to make them. She lived through the depression, so had a strong need to make sure we could create what we needed to survive, no matter what.
I think it doesn't matter when we learn, and even if you failed miserably before, you still got the basis for learning now...and you are doing very well :)
Thank you!!!! I try my best :-D
