Hi there, Let’s Knit!
I was sitting around after an operation for
bowel cancer, watching my wife produce yet
another amazing piece of knitting when
I thought, ‘I wonder if I could help’. That being
said, I hadn’t picked up a knitting needle
since my mum showed me plain stitch when
I was about ten, so I wasn’t exactly sure how
I might be able to help... My wife told me about
the Square of the Month in the back of your
magazine and suggested that I have a go with
one to see how I would get on. I really messed
up the first one, but with her expert help got
back on track and tried again. I enjoyed it so
much that this morning, while the house was
quiet, I chose another (the smaller one) and
managed to cast on, knit and cast off with
only a couple of mistakes. I have to admit I’m
pretty proud of myself, and about to find the
next ‘project’ to keep my mind, and fingers,
busy. Apparently this also helps with a thing
called ‘stash busting’. Off now to find the next
square to attempt. So thank you Let’s Knit, from
a crotchety (pun intended), middle-aged man
with a brand new hobby!
Yours Allan T.

We’re thrilled you’re enjoying a new-found
love of knitting, Allan. Keep up the good work!
