Knitting is a skill that I have always wanted to learn but never really understood, so I felt incredibly blessed recently when a beautiful friend from work came to visit and taught me the basics of learning how to knit. In our first lesson together my friend - who was taught by her mother how to knit, showed me how to tie a slip knot and how to cast on. After much practise both casting on and pulling stitches out, I can say with a degree of certainty I have learnt a new skill. The next step will be learning how to knit the knit stitch which will enable me to finally think about making knitted dishcloths!
