it's something I have been wanting to "re"learn for a couple of years now - knitting! So I decided to buy a couple 'skeins' of wool (I love the lingo), some needles, and a great how-to book and off I went...to the couch, for hours! I have to say that after only a few days of stitching with yarn I am thoroughly enjoying this relaxing passtime. so what have I learned so far...double cast on, throw away, knit, purl, make stripes!!!, and most important...how to "un-knit", how to knit while on the phone, standing up, watching a flick, eating pizza, drinking coffee (bad idea...my white wool took a swim in my mug)...

 

Well, it's -8 out there and I have a scarf to finish.
