My friend and former roommate, Betsy, and I have a good deal going. I’m teaching her how to sew and she’s teaching me how to knit! So last night, I got my first lesson. I learned how to cast-on (although I’ve pretty much forgotten how to do that already) and how to do the knit stitch. That one I practiced again this morning and I still remember. Now I want to knit all the time! It’s totally awesome. And I want to learn how to make socks. But I’m told socks are tricky. So I’d probably just better finish my dishrag first! 🙂

I love doing skill swaps, I’m trying to find someone who can teach me to crochet. Good luck with the knitting, it is so worth it!
Thank you! The skill swap was Betsy’s idea and I’m really glad she suggested it!
Looking good! A lot of first attempts at knitting end up weird shapes cause of dropped stitches and such – but it looks like you are off to a nice square start 🙂
Thanks for the encouragement Emily! I’m really enjoying knitting! 🙂
