A couple of months ago I took a knitting class for beginners at my local craft store. I went in to the class with the thought that I would be a natural born knitter if for no other reason than at one time I was a voracious crocheter. I came away from the class with nothing but a headache, a ball of yarn that had been ripped and stretched ten too many times and a pair of needles.
That night I spent hours watching and re-watching YouTube tutorials working to perfect the basic knit and purl stitch. I have spent countless hours since practicing, ripping out and practicing again. I honestly cannot believe how difficult a time I've had learning to knit. However, I'm back at it again today.
I dream of creating something like this...
Or maybe this...
Or I can even dream of this...
Instead I have something similar to this...
So, as they say, practice makes perfect. I'll keep knitting and purling but I really want to know from someone who knows; should it really be this dang hard?
