And hello! I came here through the Twist Collective's blog & have been lurking a few weeks.

I found it exhilarating. She also taught me to knit when I was 8. She felt I should learn by knitting Christmas stockings with bulky yarn, with at least 2 colors, on 3 needles for all 5 sisters and I did. That was scary but I was so proud when finished! ASKIK, the stockings are still being used many decades years later.

Good luck with the driving thing. I didn't learn until I was 32/33 years old and it was the scariest thing I ever did (well the first two lessons anyway). It soon began to click though, and I'm sure it will for you too. Congratulations on the SK mention! Good luck with the driving thing.
