Advantages: relaxing and satisfying

Disadvantages: can be expensive

Although only in my teens I can knit not brilliantly but I can knit. I use to sit with my mum and watch her knit . I have to say my mum had a lot of patience as she had to keep putting down her sewing to pick up stitches for me. After a great deal of patience she finally got through to me and I picked it up.
I can only do garter stitch at the moment but as I am now managing to knit long pieces without dropping any stitches I’m trying to get the hang of purl now. I find knitting relaxing and it’s also great to be able to make bits for cousins’ nieces and nephews. There is a real sense of satisfaction after finishing something you have made.

Knitting is very relaxing and although it can take time to knit a garment as you can do it whilst watching the television or chatting it’s not too time consuming. It can be expensive to knit a new jumper but I unravel old jumpers and cardigans and re use the wool.Also look out for knitting needles at boot sales and charity shops.

Learn to do it it’s not too hard and remember practise makes perfect so if at first you don't succeed like me,try and try again!!

Keep up the good work.
