Take Two sticks, and call me in the morning.

Give a boy/girl scout two sticks and the scout will give you fire!

Give a knitter two sticks and the knitter will give you something to keep you warm!

Difference is you can cuddle the thing the knitter makes, and oogle the colors for years! Pass it on to someone else, also! And in this day of consciousness about sustainability!!!??? Well, you can remake the item, or frog it and reuse the yarn, etc.!

Yes, I am knitting again! This time for the neighbor that helped me move and helped to fix my antique bureau. I love saying 'Thank You' this way!

Mary Alice B. suggested the stitch pattern, and I am using natural colors of charcoal, gray and white. These are WEBS yarns, cause if I took the time to spin for this project, it would be mid-spring before I finished knitting.

And, one thing leads to another... I am already planning to crochet a curtain for the entry door window in mohair, in periwinkle blue and related tones. I'll have to reteach myself to crochet, also.

So all this means that I am in pain, locked up with 'knitter's neck'. Yes, the peaceful, quiet art of knitting has it's injuries, also!

I went to 'drop in' knitting and crochet at Webs today for the first time! The ladies are making spring garments! Proof that there will be spring!
