I wanted really badly to learn how to do lace, years ago, because I wanted to do Barbara Walker's Drooping Elm Leaves pattern. It took me an hour to do one repeat with several mistakes, which I then promptly frogged and walked away from--that was enough angst for one moment. But I came back later, tried again, and it came much easier and without mistakes that time. You learn as you go along, and you definitely get better as you go. You can do it!

It's amazing to me how knitters find one another and how people reach out and share love through their knitting often with total strangers. If only the world could have more knitters I'm sure it would be a much better place with much less violence.
