I’m going bicraftual.

Hey, if Emma can learn to crochet (and so quickly and well that I keep clicking over there to see what she’s done now), I can learn to knit, right? *ducks under thrown tomato* OK, I think knitting is way more difficult, but I’ve decided to decide I think that just because I’m relatively unfamiliar with it (and I’ll stop torturing this sentence now, so no need to call the UN).

In other words, it’s time to get out of my own way and just learn the thing, or at least the rudiments. Time will tell if it will become a love affair or not.

I got all excited about doing this because I was poking around on Ravelry the other day and found a link to this and my reaction was, “hey, I could do that!” instead of hiding under the desk cowering in fear, so that’s another good indicator that it’s time.

Also–and this is going to sound monstrously artsy–I keep picturing a freeform piece I’m working on with a garter stitch section in it and I can’t convince myself to crochet the thing instead. So I *have* to figure it out or it will forever look wrong to me, and if it turns out like I’m starting to think it will, that would be tragic.

Now if I could just get a few minutes to actually work on, well, *anything* I’d be all set. LOL.
