The wonderful world of knitting

Once again, I was reminded of how much of our learning to knit is in the mistakes we make. One of my students had to rip out a good portion of her vest last night because she hadn't understood the pattern. However, she has really advanced as a knitter; when she first came to me she would argue if I used the word "Rip". Now she very calmly rips it out and corrects her mistakes. She is becoming a more experienced knitter and as such knows that (All together now) "As we knit so shall we rip"!!! The other students refer to her as the "Advanced" student and she is becoming a very good knitter.
