My new hobby

Wool and knitting needles

It all begins with a story.

About 3 weeks ago I had a random text from my friend asking if I wanted to take up knitting together, as random as that was, I actually thought that would be good fun and said yes.  Monday I finally got around to buying some knitting needles and wool - this would have happened sooner, but everywhere I went didn't sell them *shrugs*.

I went to John Lewis, picked up a set of needles and a couple of balls of cheap wool, nothing fancy just a plain colour and not too thick.

Then, Monday night I decided I was going to sit down and learn, but where on earth do I start!?  Well, like all good things in modern day life, it began with a search, I googled 'how to knit' and a video popped up.


Maybe this has taught me the wrong way, but it was easy to follow and I'm now knitting my first rectangle :P  If it's long enough, I'll try to turn it into a scarf, or maybe an endless scarf :)

Either way, I thought I'd share this with you as I know quite a few of my readers and fellow bloggers are knitters.

If you have any tips, or links to good websites you know of feel free to leave a comment below :)
