Nothing makes me more annoyed than having to re-learn something. Re-learning something means at one time in my life... I KNEW HOW TO DO IT and now I don't! How annoying that I forgot it and have to waste time figuring it all out again. Something to work on in the future, I suppose.
Back in highschool, I knew how to knit. I remember making a lot of scarves and hats... really simple things, but it was a creative way to keep my hands occupied while doing something mindless, like watching tv. I recently uncovered a giant box in my parents basement full of knitting needles, yarn and half-finished projects and realized I had actually forgotten all about my knitting past! Lately, I have been inspired by the "crafty" blogging community and have seen a ton of really chic and wonderful knitting projects! I adore sweaters and cozy socks and I would love to be able to make some on my own.
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone else who knows how to knit. So, I decided to check out the internet to see if I could find some video tutorials. The first site that I stumbled upon (thanks, Google!) is KnittingHelp.com. Their videos range from basic - casting on, knit stich, purl stitch - to advanced with tips and projects for experienced knitters. So far, I have managed to re-learn the knit stitch and have been practicing by making a bunch of rows for nothing in particular. I'm trying to decide what the best project would be for me to start with... maybe a scarf?!
Here's what I hope to one day work up to: This stuff is beautiful!
