“I felt really clumsy at first with the needles, but I was glad I knew how to hold the yarn at least. And you can see how much my tension improved from first to second rectangle. I know I’m still far from my crochet skill level but it was very satisfying.”
“On Saturday, I was a beginner. It was a surprise to feel so new at knitting, after decades of this stuff. Hard won, this ribbing. Every stitch a victory. The finger must be down—the left finger! WUT? I’m Norwegian purling, and I’m knitting Continental, and it’s a wild new frontier for me. I love being not very good at this. I love the way I’m finding the rhythm. It’s all such a surprise.”
