My problem with knitting is that I go so long between projects that I forget how to do it. Also, the only needles I have were for a baby sweater, i.e. super-small and it takes forever to actually knit anything on them.

Given that you know knitting way better than I do, I would be tempted to get back into it if you take me to a store and show me what needles and yarn I can get that will involve having a finished project without putting 60+ hours of work into it. (Cutest baby sweater in the world, but NEVER AGAIN.)
