A few days after his attempt at knitting, Chuck asked me if there was some other yarn he could try. I figured he could handle the Moonlight Mohair and the shaped scarf form Sally Melville’s Knit Stitch book. Here’s how it went:
He: Can’t you just get it started for me?
I knit the first row.
He: Can you show me one more?
I knit the next row.
He: I didn’t quite get it, one more, please.
I knit the third row.
He: This knitting stuff is pretty relaxing, can you do a few more?
I did, and few minutes later was serenaded by his snoring. The pattern had grabbed me and I continued for awhile. The next morning:
He: How far did I get on my knitting last night?
About this far:
He: I did pretty well, huh?
