Well, I have made it through my first skein of yarn, and I have learned in that time.
My first surprise lesson came in the form of fellowship. It seems that everywhere I turn these days I meet a fellow knitter. One day I simply walked into work, and there in the waiting area was a fellow knitter working on a tam with her basket of supplies beside her. Some of the best fellowship has been in learning from others. I asked my mom to teach me the knit stitch after casting on. It felt good to have another area of knowledge and skill that she can pass on to me. I have a feeling she is still hoping that knitting will somehow turn into a minivan full of grandchildren though.
I was warned about this, but I didn't believe it until I was fully hooked. Knitting is addictive. At first, I wondered if I would ever complete one project. In fact, I have not finished that first project, but I have already thought of four more that I want to do once this one is complete. I need to get busy!
