Although knitting is rather solitary, comfort and confidence come when knitting with others. Dear friend, DJRM, taught me basic knitting last summer. Since then, I've completed a few scarves and dish cloths.
Navy Marine Corp Relief Society provides baby seabags for new borns in the hospital here. I took the 'lesson' and started on the baby afghan for the future son (it's blue) of a navy person. After ripping and restarting several times (hours upon hours and I learned early never to knit while watching soccer), I attended a knitting/crochet session this morning. Knowing I had made an error, it was so much easier to rip, count 157 stitches, knit, count again with guidance from a patient volunteer and in the presence of others who were in various stages of learning.
