Okay, so there was a time when I thought of knitting as a craft that only old age pensioners took up, with a mind to destroy the innocent joys of young children with hideous sweaters and blankets. However, now I’ve learnt the craft, we’ll dismiss all former ideas and illusions. All thanks go to Mum who as always remained patient while I badgered her and tried in vain to learn how to knit. However I finally grasped it, and can now ‘kind of almost’ knit.

Its winter, arm warmers/fingerless gloves seemed the appropriate thing to start with (I’m a cop out-looked purposefully for something easy and quick). But hey, it worked and I’ve had a hard time trying to remove them from my hands since. I’ve also started another pair (the ones in grey) and hopefully I’ll stick the felt on it as “something”.

I’ll cross it of the list as soon as I’ve mastered how to get my rows neat, which could take a while…
