Knitting

So this year I decided that I would knit several of my Christmas gifts. Part of me as always loved knitting. I'm not horribly good at it. I know how to knit and purl. I'm kind of good at following patterns. I'm really good at making a mistake and having to undo several rows in order to fix said mistake.

Knitting was one of those creative things that my mum taught me when I was younger. My dislike of having my mum telling me what to do, meant I did not really get very good at knitting. If I could go back in time I think I would tell my younger self to shut it. Funny now I wish I knew how to do more then just basic knitting.

Of course by the time I'm done with all my projects I'm going to be really good at basic patterns. At some point I might even get the guts to try my hand at socks or gloves. Of course I think I would need to get a lot better at following directions before that happens. Hopefully after Christmas I'll be able to share some pictures of my creations...
