knitting experiment #3 was a success. It was a matter of counting stitches and remembering which row I was on, which proved challenging at times. I'm not yet a knitting natural, I find it impossible to knit and maintain a conversation at the same time. My granmother could knit at the movies...in the dark, now there's a crafty woman!
