Yesterday I helped a young friend take her first knit stitches. She is expecting her first baby in a few weeks. She asked me to teach her because she would like to knit for her baby. Well, not in time for her little girl, but anyone who knits knows she is learning a skill that will be there for her the rest of her life.
Every time I have the opportunity to teach someone to knit, I jump at it. I keep a small suitcase filled with odds 'n' ends of yarn and a collection of knitting needles for teaching. I use a suggestion I read to cast on for the learner so they can focus right away on the stitch. It works for both adults and children.
I love knitting and almost as much I love passing on the skill.
Time to knit,
Linda
