My intentions

As I mentioned in my first post. Here I'd like to document my knitting adventures. I've started to knit very recently and I think that my experience may be of use to others in a similar situation. Of course, if you want good advise, you should get it from someone more experienced. On the other hand, my blog will have a different perspective to offer. Something that someone with more experience will not care about or even know about. For starters, there is a jungle of resources on the internet. If you're learning from the web, instead of from a friend or paid classes, like I did, you're in a very different situation than the more experienced knitters out-there, who didn't learn to knit this way. If you'll be using the internet to learn, you'll probably have the same problem I have all the time, specially when I'm trying to learn something new: I keep wasting hours of my life stupidly surfing the web with the well known result of getting completely...

For the same reason, it'd probably be more appropriate for an association, a group of people, a shop...

Strange name, I may still change it in the future, but it'll do for now. I like it better than yorkknits for the above reasons.
