Jan. 5th, 2012 02:19 pmAnd then I ended up running a one-person knitting class at the library.
See, a patron came in asking for beginning knitting books. She had a project that she'd had to rip out - it was her first-ever knitting project and her friend had cast on for her. She didn't know how to cast on. My coworker happened to mention that I knit and somehow, I ended up teaching this woman two different cast-on methods.
(Long-tail cast-on, because that's what I normally use and then, once I asked how many stitches she needed and the answer was 700 (!), knitting on. Because oh god, no one wants to get to 657 stitches, run out of tail, and have to do the whole thing again.)
We are a full-service library, I tell you what.
