I tried it when I was young.
Failed rather spectacularly.
I took up crochet instead.
It was, and is, easier…but my relationship with it ebbed and flowed.
Then.
Several years ago I determined to pick up the dual needles again.
This time I succeeded.
Knitting is now a beloved pastime.
It’s soothing (well, until I screw up).
And I’m finally knitting for myself (all my first projects were for others).
I’d really love the learn how to knit. It looks very soothing.
Happy A to Z blogging.

I taught myself to knit when I was young and I loved it. Then I took up crochet and found it was easier to fix mistakes and a little easier than working with long, stiff needles. It’s been ages since I’ve knitted or crocheted now, I have arthritis in my hands and needlework is slow going, but looking at your delightful project there brought to mind my love of soft yarns and of forming wonderful gifts and presents for myself. I might just have to work on a pair of potholders or nap blankets for my cats! 🙂
