I can knit!!!
I’ve been crocheting for about 15 years, since my grandmother showed me how and I made a giant afghan. And then another. And then a few dozen more. I kept the first one (it’s still on the bed in our guest room - it’s made of 108 granny squares sewn together)
but gave the rest away as wedding/birthday/baby/Christmas presents.
A few years later I took up smaller projects, like hats:
But I never learned how to knit. I tried a few times, but it never really took. Dan once knitted a square that we use as a potholder, but I couldn’t get the hang of it. Till last weekend, a friend was in town and offered to teach me. Somehow, the method she uses works for me. So I knit a few rows, made a mistake, ripped it all out; repeat ad nauseum until finally it started to click and I just kept going. And going. And going. I knit the whole skein. 6 feet later, Nikki now has a loverly scarf:
with a crocheted flower and leaves on it, just for fun.
Hooray! I love learning new things. Especially new ways of making stuff. I imagine soon I’ll knit myself a dog or something. Watch me!
