Sometimes I find my mind with knots and knots of thoughts. So many maizes and webs and complex networks of thoughts. Last year I had developed a ton of interest in something and I cared about nothing more than that. But today, it is on hold and I need and want something else to keep my mind from racing and jumbling. I have seen people on the trains knit and it did not look complex at all. It looked fairly easy. One of my tough football player friend recently revealed he actually loves knitting. So, I thought, I need to give this a shot. If people do it with so much focus, I may start liking it too. Also I had read a girl friend's blog last year, Jaanus blog ! and after many influences, one fine day this month, I just went to the store and STARTED on my needles.
As a kid, I learned how to crochet although, I may have forgotten I ever knew to crochet. Only after I saw once of my friends crochet did I remember that as I kid I owned one of those needles !! And then I thought, maybe, I should have gone back to crocheting, and I would have recalled all of the stitches. But, it was too late and I already bought knitting needles and already learned and liked the stitches. Plus, my friends Jaanu and Sara have been such awesome knitting mentors, I am certain, there is no room for failure !!
I have quickly learned to love it and I am aiming to make a beautiful buff ! I see myself knitting 4 rows a day. Though, if I make a mistake , I have no idea how to correct it, so I try very hard to make no mistakes at all. I have so far made mistakes and then undone everything and redone it, and that has taught me to focus a lot harder !
My deadline for the buff is May 10th ! Will have it ready !!
