figuring out how to hold the yarn was the trickiest part, i ended up holding it like i do when i crochet. i think i've alreadey got the knit stitch down ok, and my tension isn't bad at all! going reallly slow for now. once i pick up the speed a bit, i'll try purling!

you'd think that since i'm an avid crocheter, it'd be easier for me to do, but it's not...just a new way of holding everything! it does look like it's a much faster way of knitting..

i'm in!
yes! i've got one recruit!:happydancing:
