and yes, we call that “bat-wing,” too.

Your mother and the blue yarn reminded me of a story I know about my husband, who had saved enough money to buy his own camera, but his father steered him away from the one he really wanted & he was never happy with the one he got. I always keep this lesson in mind.

I awed by your knitting. I still haven’t given up hope of trying, but you never convinced me about being creative in little blocks of time – I still feel as though I need “enough” time to get a handle on things.

How was your husband to know you were a lapsed methodist knitter when he met you? I was also surprised when more and more of you activities and posts were about knitting. I “met” you when your son was really small, so obviously, your lapsed period was still happening. It’s fun read about your history with knitting. Was it typical of other girls you knew? Or were you a lone non-lapsed knitter?

Ha, I just followed your comment on Beck’s post on friendship and ended here seeing a photo of a Monchichi … I haven’t thought of those pals for years, but I loved them when I was a kid.

I am a bit jealous of anyone who can knit really easy. My Mom didn’t, so she could not teach me and my Grandma was a very hard teacher and made me be disappointed about my work every other time, so I stopped having fun.

But sometimes… when its winter and cozy – I would love to know how to knit beautiful coloured socks while listening to an audiobook…
