Just before the course had started when we were given our handbooks, I saw Knit week and I was really looking forward to it. However, I did not enjoy it as much I wanted to. This was mostly because the machines are very fragile and delicate and needles are extremely easy to break and not work. I had to re-do my samples numerous times due to needle issues and yarn getting caught in places it shouldn't. In addition, we were taught a number of techniques but I feel like we didn't have much time to make them in the quality we would have wanted but it was interesting seeing how many techniques you can do with the machine. I felt the time was not enough especially since we had to share the machines between 2 so that made it slightly difficult as by the time we get used to one technique, it was time to switch to another.
If I HAD to do it again, I would take my time with it and properly know to do each technique first before going ahead and getting straight into it.
On the other hand, the samples that came out decent were great and I was very proud. Do I want to do it again on a larger scale and make a garment? No, but it was most definitely a good experience.
