Adam and Andy challenged themselves to install some finicky software that really didn’t want to be installed on a netbook. In the end, they were successful. Oh the drama! See the angst in the picture below.

Now, I have flirted with crocheting and it was ok, but I just didn’t get into it that much. I think it was mainly because I couldn’t get excited about the things I could have crocheted. This doesn’t seem to be the case with knitting though, socks, hats, scarves, hell even laptop cases. The possibilities are endless.

So in my quest to begin my new found hobby, I went to the place where people go to learn about new hobbies, the internet. A while back while reading my DIYLife.com RSS feed (an excellent site btw), I saw a story about a site called knitty.com. Let me tell you, this is one very cool site. It has articles, a forum and tons of free patterns. They had an article from a regular write that was all about knitting for men, he mentioned a book called “Knitting with Balls”.

I then went to the next place people go to learn about new hobbies, Barnes & Noble. I browsed for a while and found the book, enjoyed a latte while perusing it and decided to pick it up. My adventure into the world of knitting has begun!

Now onto step 2, needles and yarn.
