Yesterday my Grandma taught me how to knit on 4, yes 4, needles! Now to you other knitters it may seem a tad trivial, but I’ve been so scared of knitting on 4 needles!! And well, now I can! Sort of! So I’m very excited! End-paper mittens here I come!

Today I taught Ruth how to cast on! She was really good at it! It’s so much fun teaching other people to knit! Oh, and a TA I know told me she’s going to bring in Wild Knits! for me to have a look at, which is sweet of her. I only know her cos I passed her on the stairs and asked her if she was wearing the cardi out of Stitch and Bitch! So I now have a knitting friend I can turn to for advise! Which is always good! Since I’m normally the one giving knitting advise. Although I don’t feel at all qualified to do!

What other exciting news? It’s sister’s birthday tomorrow, she’s all grown up (16). I’ve brought her the Rowan Pub Knitting book, which I may have to borrow!

Right I’m off to bake her a cake!
