knit a scarf

my knitting is in a big knot under the coffee table, but one of my roommates from college just moved in with us, and guess what – she knows how to knit! and she’s going to teach me. and be around when i panic and help me find my dropped stitch. hurray! we’ll give it another go, then…

guys, i am seriously sucking at this.

i went to my friend’s house so she could teach me now to knit, again. i think what i’m doing right now will be practice, though, and not an actual scarf. (it’s huge and too effed up for anyone to wear.) but i’m just going to keep going, and then when i think i will ABSOLUTELY NOT FORGET HOW TO KNIT, i’ll start over with a real scarf – if i can remember how to cast on…

i think i have a mental glitch when it comes to knitting. three or four people have tried to teach me to knit, and i consistently forget how to do it. but my brother bought me knitting needles and yarn for Christmas years ago, and i will make that purple scarf if it kills me – or one of my friends.
