strangely...I find myself knitting again
Years ago, I used to knit stuff. Not much, because I'm not very good at it, and never anything really big. In the beginning, at around age 17-18, I knitted a huge six foot long, eight inches wide, scarf in blocks of colour. The plan was to knit several more, then sew them together and have a colourful bedcover. Never happened. Two winters ago, I finally gave away the scarf. I mostly stuck to small stuff, like baby bonnets and bootees, a few matinee jackets, even a toddler jumper or two. I used to be able to do a complete pair of bootees in a night. Nothing to brag about really, the mother-in-law could knit an entire layette in a night and do the matching shawl the next night. I swear that woman could knit in her sleep! Me? I have to count rows and stitches and read the pattern line by line........stitch by stitch....... In 2010 I knitted a pale pink scarf for my youngest grand daughter. I'd seen the wool in Lincraft and couldn't pass it up, it was so soft...
