A patient and very encouraging teacher taught me to knit this weekend. It surprised me how satisfying the experience was. I expected it to be frustrating because I can be impatient with myself when learning new things. I picked it up pretty easily though and found the act of knitting to be quite cathartic. It takes you out of yourself in a meditative sort of way yet it’s productive in a physical sense. Plus as a gadget person and fan of good design, I fell in love with the needles because they’re such perfect objects in their own right. I hope to knit myself a hat after some practice and learning a few more basics.
