Saturday was my first knitting class. I learned to cast on, knit, and purl. Casting on was pretty easy. Knitting also came rather natural. Purling took time. There are about 10 women in the class. All soccer moms. “Knitting is the new yoga!” “Knit Purl is going to be my new mantra” “Did you know that Julia Robert knits?” “I heard the entire cast of Friends knit, even Joey!”
The one instructor is a very old woman and the other two teachers call her, Mom. She smells like poo. I learned fast working with her. It’s a little early, but I think knitting may be my new hobby! In fact, instead of knitting skull caps for little babies with leukemia, I may knit skull caps for everyone who reads Donnaville! Wouldn’t that be exciting! I’ll be the only blogger who sends thank you gifts to her readers. I will have to figure out if it is doable. I can’t imagine there are that many of you, maybe 6 or 7. First I will have to improve my speed since it takes me forever just to knit a sqare inch. We shall see.
