I am by no means an experienced knitter.  For years I desired to learn the craft of knitting but all to no avail.  I learned the knit stitch and purl stitch but would somehow manage to do something wrong.  I would literally start patterns and then stop in the middle.  I wouldn't just FROG my started piece I would take it completely out to use the yarn for a new crochet project until recently.  I love to crochet but I find that I love the way a knitted sweater looks verses a crocheted sweater.  I found a load of inspiration from knittinghelp.com.  I did a training sock (a sock pattern that is small scale to help you understand the pattern and technique of sock making) last summer which started my journey.  I then finished a knit project just before Christmas.  Then I did a training mitten (same as above).  I then completed my next project right before new years and then another this week.  I have crocheted for years but not a lot until this last year and a half.  I understand the knitting and crochet terms now that I am able to create projects without complete help from patterns.  I love the speed I have with crochet but still absolutely love the finished look of knit.  Right now I am discovering Fair Isle Knitting.  I am loving it.
