We take a break from
our regularly scheduled knitting time to bring you this blog post
If you have been keeping
up with my posts, you’re hopefully caught up on our adventures if I did my job.
(Did I? I’m not sure)
Do I have any fellow knitters following my blog? If so, this
post is for you. If you would like to learn how to be awesome (AKA how to
knit), I taught myself everything and my best student (me) thinks I’m the best
teacher. Ideally, I teach in person, but I can do Skype consultations upon
request. Have your people call my people.
Think knitting is just for
grandmas and third grade girls? Check out this book I found:
For those of you who are
just super lame and hate knitting/crochet and will not even give it a chance (the
anti-stitchers), here’s a 10 hour long video of lamb chops “song that never
ends” You may return to this post when you have come to your senses.
Once you’ve discovered
that knitting is awesome or that lamb chops can get real old real fast, you
should learn to knit. Like, right now. Or, if you’re still intimidated by the
websites and tutorials, you can always shoot me an email at riviwriter@gmail.com. I’ll show you the ropes—or yarns, as the case may
be.
Here are a few of my
favorite websites to get you started:
Pinterest:
Obviously. I am in love with Pinterest. I used it more than Facebook when I had
a Facebook (which, by the way, I just reactivated. However, I am only using it to shamelessly plug the blog)
If
you don’t have a Pinterest, drop everything and go make one. Now. Or watch 10
hours of lamb chops song that never ends. It’s your choice. Totally up to you.
