knit: verb. To cause to grow together

Believe me, no one is more surprised than me.
Growing up in Dublin, I and pretty much everyone I knew went to convent school.
And you learnt things the way the nuns wanted you to do them.


(BTW, does anyone have any idea how difficult it is to find a picture of a nun on the internet? Lots of shots of funny nuns or sexy nuns or men dressed as nuns. Anyone who has ever actually met some nuns knows they are not really any of those things, except maybe for that last one.)
The other night, I was clearing some stuff the previous owners had left under a table in the basement and I found a pair of knitting needles and some wool.
The nuns had taught me to knit in school so I was convinced that I would be able to pick it up straight away. Just like riding a bike right?
No. Not really.
I didn't have a clue how to start.
So I did what I always do when I want to know something.
I goggled it.
And as usual the t'internet did not let me down, although I was a tad surprised at just how many knitting sites there are.
Prepare to be amazed, knitting and purling (got to know the lingo).
Here it is, my masterpiece.
Please no applause, just throw money.
