So I am visiting family now, and instead of packing up a bunch of crocheting and possibly wrecking my patterns, I'm taking this opportunity to start knitting!

 

 

 

I was taught how to do the basics here by my mom. It's pretty easy to get the hang of, though it's not all that easy to keep the yarn on the needles. It's very slippery. I'm using craftsmart value yarn in black. I always find black difficult to work with when crocheting, since it's easy to miss stitches, but with knitting it's all laid out there, so I'm liking using black with it. Right now I'm just going to make a basic scarf or something, but I'm eager to see what I'll like best once I'm more familiar with knitting.
