Oh, everybody! Welcome to our video! Today, we are doing a knitting video, not a trucking video, a knitting video. That's right, let me get the sun out of my eyes. There we go. Driving around, I didn't have the radio on. Sometimes I was like, you know, my own thoughts. And we're down in Fine'sville, New Jersey. And there's one barn that had one of those hex barn signs. And I thought to myself, that would be a really cool pattern to kind of copy and maybe make a washcloth. So this is how a thought is going to go from today to tonight, maybe drawing it out. I have it from that hex paper. And taking it to class, get some thoughts from my teachers and making it. See if I can replicate it. And then I thought, wouldn't it be cool just to mail to that person too? So I don't know if there's room to pull over where it's at, but I'll definitely slow down through my blinkers on. You get a picture of it so we can take it from there. So I got to move up. All right, so this is how the thought goes to a pattern. Here we go. Do you know what everyone? So we just dumped, now I'm going back through this small town. So I just turned this on and I'm going to stop. But, what do you do? I don't know. I don't know if there's any room to pull over. So according to it like this, the barn will be on the right hand side. Actually, when I come back the other way, I'm going to do a full video of this town. This town is so cool. I haven't watched these old stone houses. I think 1800s stuff. Very old town. Just a couple of libraries here. Anyhow, is there anybody behind it? There's a barn up here on the right. This would be a neat idea. Just sketch it out on a graph paper. When I drove through, I looked out of the gamut. It has a lot of colors in it. There it is. Actually, I can't pull off. There it is. I think that I'm making cool washcloth. All righty. So now we're at the next phase here. What I did was I printed it out. So this was what you just saw. I printed it out for reference. Then in a color, stick it. I printed it out. Then I drew down the center of the size to make it into quadrants. Try to figure it out. What I did was, then I thought some other washcloths I did were like 39 stitches. This was my first attempt. But I couldn't quite get it all synced up. So then finally, you know what? Maybe you shouldn't do the stitches and try to make it to the stitch count. Just draw it out. Whatever the stitch count it gets to. So this is what I came up with. That looks just like that. So I'm pretty excited. There it is. So I'm going to show them in class tomorrow. I'm going to start knitting at this week. Hopefully by then of the week we'll have it done and we can wrap this video up. So I'll see you on a couple days. All right, here we go. So we got started today in class. This is the classroom. Everybody's gone. This is real quick. I got my bobbins gone, white and black. You can see I got a few rows on. There's the chart. It's come along good. The one problem I had on the back was carrying my floats. And I had a little bit of issue with that. But that's why I come to class and she got me all straightened out. Because when I was carrying it, I was ending up with a couple extra stitches. But we got that all squared away. So I think we're in good shape. So when this is further along, we'll show you some more. All righty. All right, here we are. We are at the halfway mark. We're actually one row before the halfway mark. But you can see I cut the two blue bobbins off. Because now the blue isn't going to be until back up here. Actually, I got three white going back here. I was carrying the white all the way over back and forth. But now it's just so far back, so far apart. I figured even though it's a pain, it's just easier to have a three going. So trial and error. Halfway. See you at the end. Right here's another update. We only got three more rows. It will be done. And then I'm going to do the red across the top back and forth just like this. And then I'm going to pick up stitches down the side. And then I'll just pick up stitches over here and do that and do a nice little red border. So coming along good and we'll see you when it's all done. All right everyone. This is the moment of truth. I just cast off if you don't remember. I mean, it's sure as long a minute ago in the video. But that was there. This is the finished result. Look at that. I really want to show you back, like I said, well, look at all that. That is quite the mess there. But it worked. I'm really happy with that. What I'm going to do is today's Friday, the 20 something. It's the day we got all the ice. So as of now, they're telling us we're on hold at work, but it's a shit ice out there. I'm not going to know where it's today. I'm going to turn this. I'm going to make the whole back red. So this was 32 stitches. I'm going to cast on and just bang out backing forward. So you got like a like a hot pad type thing. But I'm really happy with this. For my first little quote unquote design and trying to put something together, it did all right. When I did the red border, Becky, my teacher had suggested just doing some here, here, and then picking it up. And I know Joanne had got me onto the log cabin squares. And when I did that, I forgot that you actually have to like cast off and then you turn it, pick up your stitches and do it. I haven't done it for a while, but it's all good to remind you and keep doing different stitches and practices and learning stuff. So I am really happy with this. So here it is. It is Friday. I'm going to bring this into class tomorrow. And I'm going to edit the video today and get this up and share it and hope you enjoyed this. I'm going to say goodbye now here, but maybe what I'll try to do is bang the back out and put that on here. I'll actually know because I won't get the video edited. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to end it here. Top quality, two-mo time video here. We're going to end it right here. I do plan on mailing this to them. So in the comments of the video, if I'd ever do here back from them, I'll pin what they said or if they said thank you. I'm not looking for anything. I'm just trying to do something nice because like I said, I was driving past their property for the last two weeks with a bunch of other dump trucks, but I thought this was a neat idea. And I'll let you know how that goes. And yeah, that's it. I think it's all good. I'll bring this down real quick for one last comparison. There is the comparison. If you remember that, I did that not too long ago. Don't know. That's it. I'm rambling. So I got to tighten up the back and I want to start putting that to put the finals things on here. So that's it. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. Oh, and here I am rambling some more. If you know of any other barns in the area where I live, I think I might do this, make this like a little series and try to practice designing and making it. But I think I'm going to cut back all the colors and bobbing and maybe try to keep it to two to four. Not at one point in the middle there. I had like nine of them. It was nuts. So, uh, anyhow, thanks for watching. We'll see you in the next one. Bye bye.
