Why knitting? I knit INSTEAD... of eating... of biting my nails... of getting upset... of thinking too much about things over which I have no control. In knitting, I find whimsy, fun, silliness and the occasional profound metaphor for life (but I try to keep those to a minimum). It's a hobby! I love learning and recording my learning process. So, that's the premise of this blog: Learning to knit and keeping notes about it!
