I never got beyond knitting half a scarf - my attempts were thwarted by my big sis who was always up in arms about my "tension". This is the same sister who used to stand over me in the kitchen when I tried to cook - no wonder I microwaved for about 10 years after I left home.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656222741423910557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530322011980194624.post-67208956634230375922016-02-01T21:32:37.280+00:002016-02-01T21:32:37.280+00:00I've been knitting and pulling it apart and tr...I've been knitting and pulling it apart and trying out different stitches to see what I could remember - some little mistakes have put me on the right track but it has been fun to pick it up again.

I am ashamed to say I have some beautiful Rowan projects that are sitting unworn in a cupboard somewhere, but they were very therapeutic to knit! Ive noticed there's been a bit of buzz lately around Wool and the Gang - I must check them out. That pink is amazing, and a scarf is the perfect way to get your colour fix!

I agree, it is very therapeutic and satisfying. Love the pink wool.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990047543978625527noreply@blogger.com
