I Refuse!

No, I'm not going to go into this kicking and screaming.  I should... it would make this whole thing much more dramatic.

I refuse to stop learning.

A good portion of what I plan to make will be sewn.  But what about those many other pesky ways to make clothing?  Like knitting.  Crocheting.  Macrame.

I refuse to wear macrame.

I have knit things in my life.  I am very good at straight knitting.  However I can't purl, ssk, knit in the round, or hold knitting needles properly to save my life.  I need to start from the beginning when it comes to knitting because I think it would be neat to make socks.  Boring white socks get boring after a while.

I was on a really big knitting kick more than five years ago.  I got so frustrated that I gave up.  But luckily (in some cases) everything that you give up you can always start again.

Learning is a big part of life.  When you decide to stop learning, you are effectively dead.

This year, I will learn to knit properly.
