I did it.
It was my first time.
I feel like a real grown-up knitter now.
I taught my friend to knit.
It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.
I broke out the bamboo needles and the Koigu (because it feels so nice in the hand) and got her started on garter stitch.
She was pretty good. A couple of weird yarn looping problems, of course, but she was cruising along, unsupervised, chatting and drinking herbal tea all the while.
I think we have a new member of the coven, sisters!

Ah, thou art crafty, oh yarn temptress! Another fleece to the mill, as it were! Ware! Ware, lest ye, in thy pride at thy tutelage, find thy coven multiplied beyond thy ken! :=)
