So 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."

I once shared a train lounge car (on the western-Canada long distance train) with a teenage girl who was trying to cast on, over and over again. Finally I looked up from my sock-in-progress, caught her eye, and asked if she'd like some help.

After I got her sorted out, her brother said "You just saved her vacation! And mine!"

I really do love the ways in which knitters find others and help.

Also, go you for fixing her vacation!
