the real way to knit

My friend Linda shows me the real way to knit today....I show her my loom knit cap - she loves it, can't believe it came out so nice with the loom and she loves the yarn. But I'd like to be able to knit both ways. I want to finish two scarfs that I started the "real" way years ago...I take a quick break at work to move my car from the scary back lot to the area closer to the door and spend five minutes or so knitting before running back into the crazy newsroom So soothing. I eat at my desk everyday practically so I deserve a little break. In fact we are mandated to get breaks so I shouldn't feel guilty. On the way home, I buy another knitting loom, this one a long thin one which will allow me to make ponchos, blankets and scarfs. Also pick up a punch needle for a cat kit I bought a while back. What else? Hmmm, oh that's it for me. Bought a few gifts for the little ones in my life - Michaels has such great little kid gifts.
