Knitting

I've been thinking about this for a while. I've always wanted to learn how to knit. I love sweaters, shawls, and so on. One of Mom's friends knit when I was little. A couple of my great aunts crochet. Dawn's great grandmother did both. I've just never got around to asking how or to trying to teach myself.

Last Friday, when Steven and I went up to New Hampshire on our fool's errand, we stopped in on his friend Mark, his wife Shelby, and their three kids. After two out of the three children had gone to sleep, Shelby pulled out some crocheting (which I mistook for knitting. Shows what I know!). After asking chatting with her for a while about knitting and crocheting, she gave me the name of good book for clueless beginners. It's called "The Knitting Experience Book I: The Knit Stitch" by Sally Melville. I'm looking for it on Overstock.Com right now.

Anyhow, my mum just called to let me know she's on her way over, so I'm off to leave the Other Half a note and put shoes on. Maybe ice cream will make my knee hurt less.
