Since the last time I've written in this blog, so many things have changed. I've gotten years older! I'm no longer fully human, as my husband says. Got a hip replacement in 2012. My mom died last year (2014.) My sister taught me how to knit while we waited in Mom's hospital room, and now, I do it because it not only keeps my hands busy and creates useful things, but also feels like I'm honoring my legacy. My mom loved to knit. She even had a knitting machine!
I also picked back up crocheting. Now I haven't made anything more complicated than flat square things (or in the case of crocheting, flat round things.) I can't follow patterns very well. I have to look at something and figure it out myself. And I'm really curious about how knitting and crocheting stitches differ.
You can see here that I'm starting two dishcloths. I have to pick one to take with me and hide in my gown during CNM's graduation (for people with Master's Degrees, the gown has a handy deep, deep pocket in each sleeve, where you can carry a bottle of water and your yarn work.)
I'll add a picture when I'm done with them.
