Knitting

I am much newer to knitting than crochet. I've enjoyed the transition from hooks to needles. Here's some of my work. Forgive the blurriness, still learning how to use my camera.

Thoughts on Knots

I first learned to crochet as a child. My great-grandmother sat with on many afternoons and taught me basics. These times were very special for me, it was very rare in a family with dozens of cousins to get one-on-one time with my Granny. For many years, I stopped crocheting and only as I neared retirement did I remember the satisfaction that comes with hand-crafted work. I have also taken up knitting and hope to further improve my two-needle skills. Later this week I will post some of my Granny's beautiful work.

The Best of Intentions

I created this blog over almost a month ago with a plan to update semi-weekly. Unfortunately, my sixty-something body wasn't cooperative. No reason to dwell on the negative here. This blog is supposed to be about crafts and fun.

I set up an etsy account and hope to buy and sell some great work. Pictures coming soon.
