Yes yes! That nordic sweater is amazing.. i am so struck by those who can do “real” knitting.. i am a mere mortal man who can only use a round loom to “knit” hats to gift people during the winter months to fight depression we Norwegians feel then.. Joyce is amazing..

I was on the varsity diving team in high school and i think that was way easier than kniting.. i was also kicked out of Boy Scouts for being a lousy knot tier.. get the picture? You are amazing
I work in a yarn store & teach knitting in person & will soon start doing it on ZOOM for clients who can't make it into the store. Many yarn stores (not the big box stores) have knitting classes. Look for those. You Tube has wonderful videos for knitters of all skills. Knitting well is just practice. YOU CAN DO IT!!
That is the thing i like more than “knitting” the hats.. going to all the yarn stores on the hunt for special and different yarns!! One can combine two different yarns on the loom and end up with pretty amazing colors and textures…my wife hunts for batik and i head for the yarn section..small shops are so
I'm betting you take your knitting everywhere! i do, too. Like tonight, for instance, to bookclub. I'm on a tight deadline & must have this scarf finished in time for my ZOOM session next week.
I’ll admit they can be fiddlely. However once you get a size you like with the needles and yarn you are using they can be lifesavers especially with lace.
Personally when I knit fairisle I only need to memorize the row I’m on then I’m off to the races. Some times with smaller patterns all the rows are easy to memorize.
There are so many skilled knitters on youtube who give tutorials! find a simple pattern and whenever you don't understand something, just google it, and there will be lots of videos by amazing people who can explain it to you. I'm kind of new to knitting and that's how I've learned lots of things.
I have been knitting off and on for many years, but was drawn into quilting and have done more of that for a long time. I’m back to knitting more and have learned so much from YouTube videos. There is no LYS where I live. The one I loved closed after the worst of the Covid pandemic. I follow a number of knitters on Instagram, many of whom are happy to answer questions and offer advice. I knitted my first pair of socks three years ago, and haven’t stopped since. It was delightful to find out that among her many talents Joyce is an accomplished knitter!

It's really not hard. You just have to dive in.

Much fun…
And be able to count and knit at the same time
That’s what stitch markers are for.
See? I knew they were something like that but not what they’re called. Another pro knitter.
LOL It truly is just practice. Many of us who knit while podcasting (that would be Joyce, not me) or attending lectures find it helps us focus better.
Lectures, church, waiting for kids, waiting for tow truck once. Anyplace
I have a friend whose license plate frame says" honk if the light turns green; I'm knitting'

I tried those, more than once, and found I spent felt to be as much time dealing with those as knitting,

And if she's knitting while doing the Sisters podcast, she has to recall all that legal "stuff" too. Too much for my brain to handle, for sure.

Will give it a go
