They say it's hard to teach a old dog a new trick. I have taught myself to knit. I use the term "knit" loosely! I challenged my son, Ian to learn to tie his shoes and me to knit. I checked out many, many how-to-books from the library and had three open at once. I spent days, just trying to cast on. When I finally figured out that I was doing it backwards. What a thrill to finally see something that looks like knitting. Yes, this old dog learned something new. Difficult, yep. But it feels good to keep going and succeed! Now if only I can get Ian to tie his shoes.
