Dear Lou, what a lovely piece. I'm not a knitter (I love Louise's writing though!) and I know very well the feeling of watching a movie and googling all the actors *constantly* and I also know very well the issue with audiobooks. However, this Christmas I started learning crochet with my mom and I have paid a month of Audible despite my past failed attempts in getting into audiobooks. Well, it looks like I have found the perfect combo: "One Night on the Island" (a light hearted romance) and a basic Kindle cover to crochet. I genuinely look forward to sit on the sofa and dive into my new hobby after a long day at work, it really brings me so much calm!
Hi Alice! Love this! I had one crochet lesson with a friend last year but haven’t managed to really get to grips with it yet - perhaps 2025 is the year I pick up that new skill ❤️🧶
I am knitting if I am sitting, watching TV, listening to an audiobook, waiting in an office, or just enjoying some quiet time. I learned from my Grandmother years ago. Walking into a yarn shop is like being in a candy store…..where do I begin? Thank you for your thoughts.
I learned at age 12 through 4- H group. I have knitted off and on over these last sixty-plus years and still think of myself as a beginner. I love yarn and colors and all the beauty it creates through knitting. I am still hopeful about progressing with my knitting skills.

Knitting is such a satisfying thing to do.
I was taught by my older sister when I was an 8 year-old.
I taught my daughters when they were 8.
My girls now knit circles around me.
It's wonderful!

Do you know if it’s possible to still get a copy of the Paton’s skinny scarf pattern
That would be great thanks
Hey! I could share it with you if you like?
