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.
