I learned how to knit! (you can learn to knit). It’s pretty neat. I’ve taken apart my scarf three times or so but now I think it’s good to keep going. There are few different knitting techniques and I was trying them out in quick succession. This got a little confusing so I am just going to stick with the basic garter knit for now, which you knit both sides instead of alternating between purling and knitting.
I also went to the store and got some bamboo knitting needles and I like them. I think I may switch to using the circle knitting needles but I’ve yet to figure that out yet.
Oh and if you didn’t know, they even have luxury yarns! Cashmere even! But I’m waiting to invest in that till I can knit something worth it.
There are also extreme knitters these days. One group of them plays a game, the name of which I can’t remember, but it sort of like this: People register on some website or something, and they put their address and sock size. Then they pick someone to “kill” that is also a player in the game. The way you “kill” someone is to knit them a pair of socks in their size and mail them to them. When they receive the socks, they are “dead”. So the fastest knitters can “kill off” everyone else, last one alive wins. Your socks are in the mail!
