I feel lucky that the friend who taught me to knit showed me that
knitting is something to think about and not just do. She loaned me
Barbara Walker's Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and browsing
through that book inspired me to keep going as I struggled through
my first scarf. It was in a basketweave pattern that I picked out,
because my friend said garter stitch was "too easy and boring." One
of my favorite recent projects was Elizabeth Zimmermans' short-row
garter stitch baby blanket - simple but so nifty that working on it
was never boring.
