Knitting!
I’m not a knitter. I’ve tried – multiple times – to understand the whole knit/purl thing, but it’s never stuck. So what made me pick up needles again? No idea. But this time, the whole concept made sense. I don’t know what’s different, but I’ll go with it. I’ve already completed a scarf I started last year in stockinette stitch, and now I’m doing one in plain garter stitch to showcase this awesome yarn. I love seeing the pattern evolve as I work this yarn.
Do you have any favorite knitting websites to help me learn more than these two designs? I’m especially interested in trying lace at some point.
