Knitting Lessons!

Wednesday night brought wine, yummy food, and knitting lessons! I went over to the house of a couple of friends who are also knitters, and a few others received some knitting lessons!

Rachel, the person who originally inspired me to knit hats, taught a few of her friends to knit. She did a great job teaching, and two of the four caught the knitting bug, and even bought their own needles and yarn the next day! It's always fun to see people learn and then realize that yes, they are actually knitting. Also, because knitting is such a traditionally gendered activity, it's so great to see guys want to learn. One of the two who bought their own supplies is a guy!
The guy who doesn't plan on continuing to knit made this:
Nice effort! (And not really very fair to give him huge needles to start with.)

Soon to come: my first sets of booties & hats to sell!
