Knitting at Starbucks
Today, I went up to the Starbucks on Queen Anne to meet up with the KR ladies. They're so nice!

I took Megan, one of my little sisters, with me. She is the one who taught me how to knit. Zola asked "How is it that she taught you to knit and yet you knit with your left hand and she knits with her right?" Honestly, I don't know. I also don't know how it is that we knit backwards from each other, but we do. I imagine it is because she taught me how to knit while we were camping and I promptly forgot how by the time that I got home. So, I looked on the internet and checked out a bunch of libary books.

Zola taught me how to do the long tail cast on. I'm very appreciative... it looks so much better than the way that I was doing it (which was a knit-on type of cast on). Plus, it is faster.

After we left Starbucks, I took Megan up to Hilltop Yarns to look at all the gorgeous yarns that they have. If I had money to spend, I could find a million ways to do it there.

Yesterday, I'd taken her to Weaving Works where she bought some needles. They're shorter than mine and made of wood. Her old ones went missing, so they needed to be replaced.

Two yarn shops in one weekend! Lots of fun, indeed.

I wish my sister was a knitter! :) Sounds like you two had a GREAT time!
 
I taught my stepson to knit. I knit (and so taught him) continental (left hand) and less than 12 hours later I saw him working on his scarf knitting English (right hand). Don't know how or why he switched, but I got a kick out of his finding his way on his own!
 
Well done!
