Knit O’Rama
About two years ago I decided that I wanted to learn to knit. So I went to A.C. Moore and purchased My Knitting Teacher: 25+ Projects (Includes Special Left Hand Instructions) and started knitting. Well, attempted to knit. It was very awkward and, after a few attempts, I decided knitting wasn’t me.
Second Time’s the Charm
Around this time, mom was bit by the crochet bug and was working on blankets, blankets and more blankets. I thought, since I taught myself this in high school, I should be able to get right back in the swing of things. I was right and started crocheting here and there.
Then the guilt set in. Did I really give knitting a chance? Not really. So, I gave it another whirl and took the project into to work. It was then I learned most of the women I work with were knitters or crocheted. AWESOME! Now, I had someone to ask my stupid questions.
And Away We Go
So, I happily gave knitting another go and finished a scarf using the only stitch I know. Knit. Three scarves later, I think I’m ready to learn another stitch.

Way to go on the knitting Clesha! I have myself left knitting by the wayside while I am back in school. But it sits in my closet as a constant reminder that it waits for me to return when life isn’t so crazy!
Hi Susan!
Knitting and crocheting is actually helping to relax me. It’s allowing me to have a few moments of relaxation and peace. It’s almost like a form of meditation.
