All the Hep Cats Are Doing It
Knitting is awesome. I learned about five or six years ago and I haven't put down the needles since. If you want to learn, I recommend Stitch 'n' Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook, by Debbie Stoller, or ask about classes at your local yarn store. There are lots of great web resources, covering everything from the basics (some sites have video tutorials) to free patterns (my personal favorites).
Top 5 Reasons to Knit
- It's relaxing
- It's fun to make things
- People love handmade gifts (well, cool people do)
- You can make things to your exact specifications and exactly how you want them
- It's cheaper than most other hobbies
