Purl one, knit two. Those terms actually mean something to me now, thanks to the very patient Lydia at Knit on Pearl in Jackson Hole. I'm halfway into a series of four lessons, and I've learned two methods of casting and two stitches, the knit and the purl. The first lesson was embarrassing as I fumbled with needles and yarn and forgot each instruction within seconds of hearing it. But at home, with a book I bought and videos I found on the Internet, I was able to figure out what to do at least some of the time. Now I'm actually knitting - not well, yet, but that will come. A new hobby. Yay!
This picture of four scarves I knitted was taken months after this original post.
