Casting On

I've picked the pattern I'm going to knit, so all that's left to do is cast on.

Apparently there's a lot of different ways to cast on. I settled on the long tail cast on because it looked to be the easiest and quickest method. I was right.

Counting as I went I cast on 14 stitches successfully. It was at this point that I realised I had no idea how to knit.

What have I gotten myself into?

The Bet

A couple of weeks ago I (foolishly?) bet my good friend Andrew that I could knit a sweater having never in my life knitted something before. This week I have started knitting said sweater.

What follows will be a personal account of my frustrations, triumphs, and musings as I knit my very first sweater.
