Wow, I just didn't have enough confidence to do it and now I can knit! I am only beginning, but doesn't everyone have to start somewhere? I think my crochet skills have come in handy in the area of tension. I don't seem to have to problem of knitting too tight, and I seem to know how to control the needles. Yippie...I am so thrilled at this accomplishment. For years I drooled over knit patterns and wished I could make those pretty even stitches. I saw baby sweaters that were to die for and never thought I could do it. Low and behold, I found the secret. It all depends on where the yarn is. In the front for purl and in the back for knit. Now I have to figure out the language. Garter stitch, stocking stitch.
