I've been wanting to learn to knit for a while now- it's been on the mental to do list, and I finally got to it this week. I picked up the yarn (and borrowed really thick knitting needles size 17- thanks Megan) from
Room6. It's an Alpaca/wool mix, super thick, super soft and I loved the midnight blue colour! Then at home I looked up the directions with drawings on the
Learn to Knit website. I got a wee bit confused when the second row came along though and headed over to a U-tube for the
'How to knit' video, which was golden as far as I'm concerned! Super easy folks, really! It only took me one evening to get a ball of yarn into this super cute neck warmer. I did happen to have a porcelain button I had made a while ago with the midnight blue ovals on it. And for some reason it felt more relaxing to me than reading a book, although that's also on my to-do list during the holidays too. Any good reads anyone?
