Fall makes me ready to try knitting again. I say "try," because so far, I'm not very good at this craft. I can't seem to get the tension of my stitches right, and the first dishcloth I knitted came out big enough to be a bath towel instead. Now I'm in the process of unraveling it so I can try again.
Wish I had someone to sit beside me and guide me as I learn, but there don't seem to be any classes in my small town. I'm reading a couple of books instead, but it's still hard to get the right rhythm going in your hands--at least for me.
The other day I was browsing in the bookstore when I spotted a beautiful new book called Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting by master knitter Lorna Miser.
I've got a coupon, so I'm going back to get it soon. Even if I can't replicate all the beautiful patterns in it, I can still enjoy the pictures and imagine how soft and nice the yarn feels in your fingers.
