Okay, more accurately, I'm worn on correcting people who assume I can knit because they either don't know the difference in technique, or just figure I do both because I'm awesome.
I'm going off the deep end and committing to a Dr. Who scarf as my introduction to knitting at the behest of Husband and his love for Tom Baker.
As anyone can guess, I'll most likely end up regretting that decision. Fortunately, it's a basic knit stitch, with the only complication being the varied colored sections.
I'm getting the hang of it, but I find I'm struggling with setting a rhythm like I do with crochet. Most of the time with crochet, once I get three or more repetitions of a pattern down, I can do it blind. Knitting takes a lot more attention and focus, with what I believe are more disastrous results if you mess up. If you drop your knitting, you can risk losing a row. If you slip a needle, you have to stop and recount your stitches. More importantly, with the lack of the hook, I can't look at anything but the knitting for fear of missing. One of my favorite things about crochet is being able to read or watch a movie while I do it.
I'm pretty sure I don't like knitting, but we'll see how it goes.
There's a progress bar at the top of my blog page now, so you can see my snail's pace progress at the Season 12 scarf.
