Allow me to back up to 2008.
We moved to where we live now. We joined a knitting group. I started knitting a hat. I used LionBrand Homespun. Any knitter, crocheter, or crafter probably knows how difficult it is to see with that yarn, it's so fuzzy. Well, I didn't. I was going and I thought I was nearing the end so I started to end the hat. And then I recounted my rows and I was NOWHERE near the end. I tried to fix it by going back...but I ended up cutting the yarn, throwing the ruined hat in the trash and giving my aunt the leftover skein.
Now let's zoom to 2010.
I pulled out one of my knitting books to see if there were any patterns I was willing to suffer through translating it to crochet. I found a couple but I never translated them.
Zoom to 2011.
I decided to try knitting again. So I cast on 20 stitches. And tore them out. I casted on 20 stitches using a different method. and tore them out. I probably casted on 6 different way before I pulled out a crochet hook, chained 20 and picked up the stitches.
So I can knit and purl but I can't cast on. I sense that being a problem later.
But I plan on trying that hat that threw me off knitting again. BUT not in Homespun.
