Learn how to knit or crochet

I really would like to learn to knit or crochet.I have heard that it’s a very enjoyable hobby to get into and you can make so many neat things.I would love to be able to make an afghan
for my daughter-in-law.

Two weeks ago, I was procrastinating and decided it would be fun to look through an old knitting book my grandmother let me borrow a long time ago. The book gives pictures and step-by-step instructions so learning was pretty easy.

Looking through my arts and crafts drawer from when I was a kid, I found two large plastic needles and some left over thread. The needles weren’t exactly the same size, and the yarn was pretty old and raggedy. But I managed to knit a few rows and try my hand at purling, increasing, and decreasing. A lot of fun. I’ll have to go and buy the real supplies next – There’s this little moose potholder that I’d love to do by Christmas!.
