I do not knit. I ruin yarn. Seriously - a long time ago, my grandma (loved her sooo much) tried to teach me how to knit. I didn't want to learn, but I tried, anyway, to make Grandma happy. She would start a couple rows, then show me how to do the next row. I would, but my stiches would eventually get so tight I couldn;t foorce the needle through the loop ...
Then grandma would undo it all, we'd cut off the yarn I wrecked, and start again.

I can embroider (though I haven't in a long time) and crochet simply (Dad taught me that) but I do not knit, despite having prodigious knitters on my family tree.
