I waffled for a couple of months on trying to learn, and now that I finally have, I love it! I just have to remember to take it ‘one stitch at a time’. Knitting is something that you can’t master in one sitting, but you can certainly make SOMETHING in one sitting- it keeps our hands busy, and we can look at it and see what we’ve done so far and be glad.
As we morph into a more digital/instant gratification sort of society, knitting is one of those rare and beloved hobbies that allows us to “see” the results of our own patience and efforts.
I recently joined ravelry.com and it’s pretty fun.
