Knitting is one of those things that I’ve always meant to do, but never got around to. I tried once, but got only quick instructions from someone who wasn’t very good herself, so I quickly got bored with the pitiful results.

Last summer, I finally bought a “Learn to Knit” kit and was terribly excited—I would have started it right away, but it was dreadfully hot where I was and I thought touching wool at that time would be maschocistic. Unfortunately, I never found time once autumn came around.

But now. Now! I will set aside time-by mid-February at the latest-to start learning. There will be scarves for gifts next Christmas whether people want them or not!
