A few months ago, she had the brilliant idea of sending me a couple of extremely fat knitting needles and a ball of thick yarn, to make the process go faster. I had a bit of time on my hands last night and decided to give it another go.

A quick YouTube search on the phrase “how to knit” revealed this extremely useful video, and I was off and running:

I got through a few rows, and noticed that it definitely goes faster once you get the hang of it. I have a flight this evening, so will try to get some more done on the plane (I’m pretty sure TSA allows knitting needles through airport security). At this rate, I should have a pretty new green scarf just in time for summer…
