Some folks think that knitting is “passe” – but I’m seeing a real resurgence of interest in knitting for all ages and genders!
I always say that knitting isn’t hard to do – you just need to learn the little tricks. There are really only 2 stitches – the knit stitch and the purl stitch. Everything else is simply a variation of that theme.

If you are just learning to knit - be kind to yourself! Don't demand perfection. Enjoy the learning process. Congratulate yourself on discovering new stitches, improving your knitting tension, creating something from "two sticks and a ball of wool”.
If you are an experienced knitter, perhaps the challenge of a new pattern is what you need. Or, if you are feeling tired, enjoy the simplicity of a quick-knit pattern!

Taking part in something like knitting is certainly not a waste of time. I read a recent comment by an American psychiatrist, Dr. Srini Pillay, who wrote that pursuing creative and active pastimes helps make people more successful.
Whatever your goals are when you pick up your needles – enjoy the process and happy knitting!
