Actually, the main reason I haven't started yet is because the impetus to knit came from being suckered into subscribing to a step-by-step knitting magazine that has been advertised on TV recently. Two weeks later, and I am still anxiously awaiting my first issue...
The magazine in question is called The Art of Knitting, and is published weekly (but apparently delivered 4 issues at a time). It promises to teach you to knit, step by step, primarily through knitting little squares, that you eventually sew together to make a patchwork throw. They supply the yarn, needles and whatever else is required to complete the throw.
Sounds good, although someone on a forum pointed out that it will cost me in the region of £270+ to make said throw. But that's not the point, is it? Otherwise why would anyone knit, when they could just go out and buy things?
I'm doing it because I need a hobby. I need a hobby because I've suffered from M.E. since March 2000, and therefore spend most of my life stuck indoors, on the sofa or in bed. Hence the name of my blog...
