So I'm working on my very first piece of knitting. My husband's aunt taught me a few weekends ago. It's still rough and since I do it mostly while on the bus or when I have a bit of time I'm having trouble keeping track of whether the last row was knit or perl. I started using stitch markers...but then I forgot which color I'd assigned to which kind of stitch! But practice makes perfect and I can see that i'm doing better with each new row. Once I've exhausted this skein of yarn I'm going to try to learn the rest of the basics like increasing and decreasing. I'm excited to be doing this...already knowing how to crochet I can now conquer a whole world of fabulous patterns in both knit and crochet!
