Knitting Lesson #1
Knitting is not a hobby that requires a specific set of tools. Yarn and needles are standard, yes, but not absolutely necessary.
I have knit with toilet paper instead of yarn. I have also knit with two pens instead of needles.
You can knit with spaghetti. Or shoelaces. Or fabric cut into strips. (I’ve done this.)
You can knit with crayons. Or pick up sticks. Or twigs. (I’ve done this too.)
Knitting with wire is very popular for making jewelry.
The point I’m trying to make is this: there is no correct way to knit. Knitting is making loops inside of loops, and the rest is relative. The tools and materials used really don’t make a difference when you get down to it.
Knitting is imagination plus determination to equal creation. (I just came up with that, how awesome am I?)
Imagination + Determination = Creation
The Knitting Equation.
That’s lesson number one.

Wow knitting with spaghetti, now that means you are an addict!

Whoa. I’d get too hungry using spaghetti and I’d break twigs and crayons.
