While knitting is definitely not one of my main talents, and the only stitch I am able to manage is the basic Garter Stitch, I truly enjoy playing with yarn and needles lately. It is extremely relaxing, can easily be done while watching TV, and you can see a result after only a couple of minutes.
I purchased a knitting magazine a few weeks ago, that came with two skeins of yarn and a set of ( admittedly cheap) wooden needles.
Today, i painted those needles. It's super easy and can be done in minutes..
