It's taken me quite a while to feel really comfortable with knitting, but for me it is easier on my hands. Not as much tension. DO make something! You could knit dish cloths too -- they are fast and VERY useful, if made with cotton yarn. If you use both knit and purl, and you decide to put all knit on one side and all purl on the other, the edges will curl up. In fact, the whole scarf will curl into a nice tube :) To prevent this, you'll need to do some alternate stitch on the edges, like a rib.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-65272198506151241262015-01-20T14:12:19.024-08:002015-01-20T14:12:19.024-08:00This is wonderful, Lisa!

You are reminding me that I started knitting again before Christmas, just to get back into practice so I could *maybe* make some progress and make it part of my everyday life eventually. I had the knitting bag downstairs and handy, but I put it away when the kidlets were here, and forgot about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-16516374317933806082015-01-19T02:16:56.962-08:002015-01-19T02:16:56.962-08:00Congrats on learning to knit!
