When I told my friend Amy that I was going to attempt to teach myself to knit she thought it was a great idea and wanted to join in on the fun. Last week during our lunch break we sat in her cubicle over our Wendy’s lunch and matching pink knitting needles. Our first attempt was less than successful. It went something like this.
Instructions “Make a slip knot over the needle”
Me:”Is this a slip not”
Amy:”Um, no this IS a slip knot, oh no wait the knot isn’t slipping”
We then refer to the internet on how to do a slip not then we both hit our foreheads and say”oh that slip knot. ”
Then we attempt the next step of wrapping yarn between fingers and thumb and then wrapping the needle. I think Amy got a little ahead of me but I have a slight handicap since I am left handed.
Before we knew it our lunch hour was over and we didn’t even finish the “casting on” portion of the tutorial.
If anyone has some knitting advice or know of any podcasts or videos for knitting please send them my way. I would appreciate it.
