Diagonal Seed Knitting Stitch Pattern

I know, I know, I’m starting late. {I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date. That just went through my head as I was typing the first sentence and thought maybe you’d like to have it stuck in your head too ;) Just sharing the love!}

So, as many of you may know, the #100dayproject began on April 4th. I feel like I’m usually the last to know things and I didn’t see anything about it until it started and I want to play too.

Better late than never right?!

One of my goals this year is to expand my knitting knowledge, which I haven’t really done and it’s already April. {Can you believe it’s already April?! I cross the days off my calendar, I recognize each and every one, however I feel like my time goes by faster every day.}

So, I thought I could use this opportunity to find some like minded people to join me on my adventure and help hold me accountable.

{drum roll please} My project is… #100daysofknitstitches. Ambitious, right?! I’ll be creating a video everyday to share the stitch I learned :)

I already have the first one done with a video on YouTube!
