while cooking dinner...

While cooking dinner tonight I taught myself to cast on. Quite an achievement really as I've always had a bit of a metal block when it came to knitting.

Since then I've managed to remember how to knit and to my surprise purl as well! Here is my progress

I used this very helpful video on youtube - super clear and no fingers in the way of the stitches!

Dinner was handmade gnocchi with roasted tomatoes, bacon and sweet onion - Will certainly make this one again - it was awesome and devoured before I got to take a photo of the meal.
