I am, in the main, an improvisational knitter which sounds much more glorified than the fact that I want to avoid the tedium of planning; I decide what I want to make, generally accessories, knit the suggestion of a swatch & go for it. In an effort to mitigate this headlong rush to the goal, I have recently become an enthusiastic ripper, (not to worry, my name is K8, not Jack), which I find to be a physical reminder to enjoy the process. I belong to a knitting group which has awakened my desire to reclaim some of the skills I have let languish, to enjoy the journey of .planning & choosing, & to redefine my expectations of knitting.
Hooray you are here! This will be fun, I'm glad you got it started.
