Learn to knit

I was feeling a little bit stressed yesterday, so I decided to put down everything I was doing and pick up my knitting needles. After about half an hour, I was so focused on knitting that I completely forgot what I’d been so stressed about in the first place.

I successfully completed my first knitted item—a small dishcloth. I’d like to knit a sweater one of these days, but that probably won’t occur any time soon.

My first knitting experience proved somewhat difficult, but rather enjoyable as well. It’s going to take some time to get the hang of knitting, but I’m not planning to give up on this goal.

I’m planning to try knitting this weekend with a couple of friends. It’ll be interesting to see whether I have sufficient hand-eye coordination and dexterity to avoid poking myself with the knitting needles.

A friend of mine has wanted to teach me how to knit for the past year, and it might be the time now to take her up on the offer. At the very least, I should give knitting a try and see whether I enjoy it.
