Back to knitting

I used to knit all the time—sweaters, scarves and hats, mostly for my kids and husband. I taught basic knitting. Then life got busy and the knitting gear was packed up in storage with the loom and spinning equipment. Then in the last part of 2006 of was spending a lot of time in doctors' offices with an elderly relative who was ill. One day during a particularly long wait I thought to myself, "I could have knitted a sock while I was sitting here!" Well, I had never knitted a sock before, but we all needed new Christmas stockings so I dug out some needles and yarn and started knitting.


I only got 3 done and will finish the other 2 sometime before next Christmas. I also taught myself to knit socks and will post some pictures later. Next goal is to knit lace.
