*click*after casting on six times in a row and then ripping it out five times, i finally got a bit of the hang to knitting. (of course, the first 3 times i had to rip out the stitches, i didn't realize at the time that i was following the "left-handed directions"...guess who's NOT a lefty?)
it was my first time! the yarn was gentle.
i bought a beginner's knitting booklet... i did the "casting on" bit and have attempted the "knit stitch"...
i know there are mistakes in it, but i have to tell you... it kept me occupied and relaxed for a couple of hours... i can see why people love it!...
... could this be the beginning of gigglechick.com becoming a knitting blog!!?!
dun dun DUN!
tune in next time, kids... perhaps erin will learn how to do the "binding off" move...
