Thanks to jaguarx13 and wallflower731 I can now purl! What, you're probably wondering, in the world is a "purl" and why do you care? Purling is a knitting stitchy term, and you care because I've been teaching myself how to knit with the help of a book by Klutz on knitting. For whatever reason it's taken my brain some serious downtime to get certain things working. Like I cast on pretty easily, but the actual knitting took quite a bit of staring. Purling (knitting backwards, sorta) took about 3 days, and two e-consultations. And then....inspiration! lol. Or something like that. Anywho, I was able to take my stockinette stitched (one row of purling, one row of knitting that basically looks like an average sweater) practice piece to my work friend and show her purling, too. She's been knitting a lot longer than I, so once she saw it she caught on ever so much faster than I did.

Anyway...had to share. I am now on my way to....consults book learning how to cast off! Wish me luck!

I'm also a wee addicted to my new craftiness. Which is bad when I owe ppl friendship bracelets which I actually know how to make.
