Another meme

I have at least 3 different ideas that I'd like to blog about. However, the garden is calling me, so I'll just post a quick meme and save the rest of the ideas for another time. I saw this on Extravayarnza and was curious how many of them I have done. Well, I was amazed. See for yourself.

What have you learned to do that has marked a definite change in your knitting life?

I would say, learning how to knit continental when I was in high school. Prior to that, I was an English knitter and somewhat slow, especially purling. But training myself to pick increased my speed significantly and now I can knit with either hand (or both hands for stranding), although continental is preferred. It certainly makes teaching others to knit easier, too, especially south paws because I can knit both ways.

P.S. Shepherd's Harvest is tomorrow. I'm so excited that I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!
