What have you learned to do that has marked a definite change in your knitting life?
I loved learning to knit socks. They make a great project that I can take anywhere, and they are also a great conversation starter.

I had no idea I knew how to do so many knitting techniques. One of my friends said I needed to try the Master Knitters program and now I think she's right!

i actually sent some banana fiber yarn to a secret pal because she was a borderline vegan, and very "earth friendly" and she said it was very similar to knitting with silk. she loved it. i'll have to do this list, it sounds like fun!
