Last night was the second week of my once a week knitting class I'm taking. There are 6 or 7 of us in the class and we pretty much work on whatever we want while the instructor walks around answering questions and doling out advice. I really enjoy how casual it is. We're supposed to complete a project by the end of the course, which is 5 weeks. I'm still not sure what I want to work on. On one hand, I want to choose something simple, but on the other hand, I don't want to do something dull or that will take forever to complete.
I've noticed I have a tendency to want to yarn over in knitting like I do in crochet so I have to really watch myself. I wanted to learn to knit so I could make garments but so far, I find that I much prefer crochet. Perhaps I'll like knitting better once it becomes second nature like crochet is. Because of my brain lesion I have short term memory problems so I have to take my big needlecraft book with me so I can refresh myself on knit and purl every now and again. I am excited for the world of new patterns this will open up for me. Now to find the perfect one for my class project. Off to ravelry I go.
