I have been fortunate enough to be home for Christmas this year and while home, I’ve been able to bake, cook, visit with friends, take photographs, craft and … learn how to knit!! My mom taught herself (with the help of some church ladies) how to knit about a year and a half ago and has been cranking out scarves for friends and family ever since. She mastered the art of the circular needles recently and I was the lucky recipient of hats this Christmas.
I thought I would just knot the yarn and get frustrated quickly with knitting.. and I was sort of right. It didn’t come quickly to me but I practiced with my mom this week and already finished one scarf! (See model above.) I am working on two more and am very excited to bring this new found hobby back to Oregon with me; it’ll be a nice way to connect with my mom from coast to coast.. though she won’t be sitting next to me to untangle my knots… hm.
can you make me one for my birthday…. it’s coming up
