About two weeks ago I received a knitting kit from the company Wool and The Gang<\/a>. The UK-based operation provides a fun, eco-friendly way to learn knitting with pieces that are infinitely customizable and fashion-forward. Not a bad deal, considering they also have knitting parties all over the US and UK where you can pick up extra skills and meet new people. You know how keen I am to learn new skills, so naturally I had to try this out.<\/p>\n

I’ve attempted knitting before, all to no avail. I would get through a row and then become infinitely confused about “What do next?” It was the bane of my existence, and my last knitting kit wound up in the depths of a storage closet somewhere far away from me – AKA, our upstate house. Initially, as I tried tackling this clutch that I chose from Wool and the Gang, I cursed myself for picking something so complicated. Why didn’t I just choose a necklace or something small and simple!? I turned on old re-runs of X-Files on Hulu since I imagined the series is long enough that by the time it was done I’d know how to knit a square. 10 minutes into the show, and I was well on my way to a clutch!<\/p>\n

Now, the tension (look at me, using knitting lingo over here like a pro), was a little whacky, and I need more practice getting things nice and even. BUT, I did it! I have a clutch! I learned how to knit!! Best part, I did it all in ONE EVENING. Pardon all the yelly caps, but they’re necessary.<\/p>\n

Why do you care?? Because you can have a knitting project kit too! I made a clutch, but I have an extra necklace kit to give away, so enter below and get ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor.<\/p>\n

Make sure to follow along on Instagram<\/a> and check out the project posts! I also want to see your creations.<\/p>\n
