So what are you waiting for? There are so many beautiful patterns you should be able to do if you so choose. Get a few needles, some yarn of different colors and maybe a pattern or two.
You are ready to start. Just start off a little slower, you should not worry if your neighbor is much faster than you. Will not be long until you are right alongside. Just takes a little getting used to.

Originally sold as children’s toys in Japan, Gocco printers are fantastic little machines for doing screen printing at home. Unfortunately, the manufacturer recently decided to stop making them, citing decline in sales due to home use of computers and printers.
But you can still get your hands on one of these (and there are many companies that still sell the supplies) at Ebay or at a few online stores. If you enjoy creative projects, I urge you to get one while you can. I have a B6 kit and can assure you that they are quite addictive and once you use it, you’ll be hooked.
