knittingSo I am teaching youngest roommate to knit.
He's 18. This leads to moments like:
"I have figured out that the purls are whoops up and knits are whoops down." I don't know what whoops are (rhyming with swoop), but it work for him.
He has a flight today. As one does, we went over his project. Him, after grumbling that knit stitch is The Worst, "I hope I get seated next to a kind grandmother. Who knows how to knit."

"No, actually. It's really good for the first time, I'm just trying to figure out how in the hell he's managing M1 by mistake regularly." (Boy howdy has he mastered that one by accident. Yarnovers, which were my sin? Nowhere to be found. M1? We're at over 10 by accident.)
