Day 4: How did you learn how to knit?
I bought a couple of extra-scratchy sweaters from Walmart. At that point, I said that I could make a less scratchy sweater, so I set about teaching myself.
Mostly with the Stitch ‘N Bitch book by Debbie Stoller
A little history:
Stitch ‘n Bitch is a slang tern to that refers to social knitting groups. It’s been around since at least World War I and is NOT a derogatory term, when used in that context.

Good book! I also love Stitch ‘n Bitch Nation 🙂
My Nanny taught me at the age of 5 or 6 in a caravan in Norfolk using a purely pink yarn. 😊
I had pink metal needles, and I held them sooo tight that the pink was bleeding off onto my grey yarn! 🙂
