How to learn to knit

Put on pyjamas, and then a dressing gown and big socks. Prepare the knitting instruments. Find the printout of the pattern. Get the ipad so that I can watch the helpful video that comes with the pattern.

Get a glass of sherry (ran out of port). Hop into bed.

Read Facebook updates. Sip sherry. Check on the AMBA forum. Sip sherry. Realise that sherry is mostly gone.

Notice that it is 7:57pm and acknowledge that I might as well just go to sleep. Realise that sherry is not entirely gone, and perk up.

Re-commit to trying the flippan knitting.

Wish me luck. I'm trying to make this (dire name, but a nice shawl): http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-dummy-clap-shawl
