A Tradition

Okay, so I love to knit. My mom taught me how to knit and her mom taught her. I'm sure the tradition of knitting in my maternal line goes back many generations. I have a sense of carrying the tradition on almost like an inheritance. I know it sounds cheesy but that's the kind of gal I am.

I've recently started to teach others how to knit and I am really enjoying the opportunity to share the craft with others. When I start someone knitting I always start them on a scarf. The first half of the scarf is knit (your basic garter stitch). The second half is purl (is that a reverse garter stitch?). I start them this way so they will get plenty of practice knitting and plenty of practice purling.
