Knitting: Beginner Level

Week 1: Lesson Plans and Supplies

My teacher Diane handed out a detailed lesson plan we would be covering over the four weeks of the series. I arrived at the store just minutes before the class was supposed to start and Diane pointed me to a section of yarns and told me to pick one out from the rack.

“Choose a fun color, ” she said, “it’s only for practice – it doesn’t need to match your wardrobe.” I was so overwhelmed with all the beautiful colors that were before me I just picked the shade that was the closest match to the bag I was carrying at the time – that’s how I ended up with my bright magenta hued yarn!
