Artisans and mothers alike have been knitting for millennia and you can join their hallowed ranks. Knitting is one of the most versatile handicrafts in the world and can be taken to any level. Want to learn how to make a rectangle and then just make rectangles for the next decade? Great, your friends will thank you for the scarves and you can cuddle up under your own handmade blanket. Want to learn complex patterns to incorporate into the sweater-wedding-dress you're making to walk down the aisle? A little weird, but in a fun way and definitely great. Hoping to land somewhere in between? You'll no doubt find a vibrant and diverse community wherever you go of fellow knitters who will help you make the thumb of your mitten the right size or ask you for advice on yarn choice. Go forth and knit, my friend!
