Confession:

When I decided to learn to knit, I didn't think I'd actually succeed or be good at it in any way.  I figured I would get bored with every project before I finished, and that what I did complete would have a thank-the-Lord-it's-done feeling.

I failed at tatting.

Crochet is alright, but it's tiresome.

As I work on my 7th project since I learned 7 months ago, I keep smiling and thinking about how much I enjoy this.  And how much better and better my projects are turning out.

I'm so glad you all made me want to learn.

Thank you.

    Where did you learn to knit?  Did you take a class?  I think I would love learning, but I do not have access to a friend who knits to learn.

    I got a copy of Stich n Biitch, joined Ravelry, watched videos on knittinghelp.com, and had help from fellow nesties.

    I read an article in Martha Stewart Living a few years ago about knitting.  It had some instructions and a few pictures, so I thought I'd give it a try!  It's so much fun!!  Give it a shot!!

    Knitting can be frustrating to learn, but once you do, it's so worth it.  I love that I can work on something that I don't even need to look at while I'm watching TV or even reading or I can do something that requires all of my attention.  Both are relaxing and rewarding in their own way.

    I'm so glad you've taken it up!
