I went out today in search of a suitable stay-at-home-mom-type crafty project to work on, being a rainy day and all, I thought it would be fun to do something during Alex's nap other than mop the floors, do laundry, clean the litter box or flop on the sofa and watch Dr. Phil. I came home with a "learn how to knit" kit and some super sexy variegated "fuzzy" yarn. I put Alex down for his nap and went to work.
Lesson 1: Casting on. Oh, I was a pro at that. Just whizzed right through.
Lesson 2: The knit stitch. This one stopped me in my tracks. Because I had bought the super sexy fuzzy yarn, I couldn't see any of my loops in the midst of all the yarn fuzz. I tried for a good 20 minutes or so and ended up with a big fuzzy knot ball on both of my knitting needles. I ended up chucking the yarn ball and my needles into the corner of the room and watched the tail end of Dr. Phil's episode on teen runaways. I'm going to get some el cheapo plain old boring yarn tomorrow and give it a go again.
