I've knitted before, but not a lot. I think I've completed 2 scarves. And then I picked up crochet and preferred it for its portability. Plus, knitting stresses me out. Well, ok, it doesn't always stress me out - just when I make a mistake. I love how in crochet, if I screw up, I can just pull out the stitches until I get to my mistake. Fixing mistakes in knitting isn't so easy... *That* stresses me out.
That said, I feel such an accomplishment at completing just a little bit of knitting, where crochet just flows for me. Of course, I feel accomplished when I finish a crochet project, but it's not the same.
I spent this weekend knitting and undoing my mistakes. Over and over again. Finally last night it clicked that I had been purling wrong all weekend. Duh!
So tonight I re-started a project I had given up on Friday night, which other than a few small mistakes that I don't care enough about to fix, is going well. And I just frogged - again - my malabrigo because I *do* care about the mistakes I had made in it. I'm going to restart that project and hopefully I'll have good news next time I post!
