I learned to knit somewhat randomly.  After camping, I went to a laundromat to wash my sleeping bag.  I was bored, so I wandered around the shopping center next door, and found a yarn store.  I stepped inside and was immediately impressed by all of the pretty yarns, and I couldn’t believe that it was possible to knit the projects!  I bought some yarn and needles, and the owner sat down with me and showed me how to cast on and knit.  But it just wasn’t making sense to me!  I’m left handed, and I do most things in the mirror image of a right handed person.  So I tried to make up a way to knit left handed, without really understanding what I was doing.  So it didn’t work, and I was frustrated, but stubbornly determined to learn.  

Next week, I am going to start a class on how to fix common knitting mistakes.  For me, learning how to fix my knitting was just as valuable as learning to knit.  If you are confident that you can fix any errors in your knitting, it makes it easier to try new techniques, because you are fearless!  And everything in knitting can be fixed.  My class is going to have videos of techniques, as well as written tutorials.  

Also, I’d love feedback from you!  Is there something specific that you would like me to cover?  Do you have questions about what you are knitting?  I can help!
