Knit One, Purl Two
I am going to learn to knit. I am so excited! My AA home group is filled with a bunch of inspiring old timers where most of the women knit during meetings. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for me to knit during meetings (I’m easily distracted), but I do love the idea of doing something creative and calming that you can do anywhere. So I bought this little starter kit at the local craft store. You know, one of those “anyone can do it” kits. Guess what? I couldn’t. I watched an HGTV show that showed the rock bottom beginner how to “cast on.” But I couldn’t do it. Now, way out here in the boonies, I’ve found someone just down the road who gives lessons in her home every Thursday! And knitting seems so zen to me.
How cool is that?
