How to learn to knit
It made me 
"Learning to knit was a great way to distract myself from stress and to feel productive in the process--I'm glad I finally learned!"
How I did it: After a couple of years of being vaguely jealous of my friends who could knit, I found myself in a situation where I absolutely needed something to distract myself for a couple of weeks--the more unfamiliar, the better. I decided to pick up a copy of "Stitch 'n Bitch" and some yarn and a couple of weeks later, I had my first scarf! I worked sequentially through some of the projects and found it to be much easier than I had anticipated. Since then, I've made presents for a four friends, all of which seem to be really well loved. I still haven't ventured into more complex projects, but I'm really glad that I've picked up this skill.
