When I was doing the beaded Christmas ornaments, I had to tell myself that I had to get up and walk around or do exercise before working on them because I would get so engrossed and look up 2 hours later.<br /><br />I used to work in a restaurant that was next to a knitting store and we called it Stitch and Bitch because the ladies there were really nasty people. If we laughed to loud in the back they would pound on the wall.

Stu...Ooh, I do not like that knitting store owner. Stupid comment about 'backwards.' REALLY STUPID. She might be referring to 'knit back backwards,' which is something you do in entrelac, but knitting left handed is a real thing. I do think its good that you have converted to right handed though. Because the way you're going, you'll be knitting a lace tablecloth on size 0 needles soon, and then you'll be really happy you're knitting right-handed! It was a long time before I figured out how to correct a mistake and how to put the loops back on the needle right. <br /><br />LOVE the multi-tasking picture--it looks strangely familiar!debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17967505760808535408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-75905273936595009762012-02-10T08:37:19.137-06:002012-02-10T08:37:19.137-06:00I'm so glad you're still knitting - it'...I'm so glad you're still knitting - it's so great, and it's amazing how you come to realize at different points along the way that you've achieved mastery over something. Soon you'll be able to fix some mistakes without having to unravel, and you'll see your knitting reach a new leve. I'd love to be your knitting sponsor!! And talk about sensory delight when going into a Yarn store - I feel myself tingle just thinking about it. Makes me want to cast on!!!

I remember the first time I did a needle point where the pattern wasn't printed - you had to count every square in order to make sure the picture turned out right. <br /><br />I just have ripped out stitches 100 times - but it turned out great. It still hangs on my wall in my living room - signed and dated . . .1978, when I was 10. That's what happens when you live in a generation before computers and before we had a t.v. - I did needlepoint and crocheted!<br /><br />Keep it up, you'll get there. Have fun wearing your matchy outfit to running club tomorrow! Me? I'll probably have stains on my shirt when I hit the gym. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-69001454719860372532012-02-10T07:01:33.748-06:002012-02-10T07:01:33.748-06:00I want to knit but I got a million things going on...I want to knit but I got a million things going on!<br /><br />And Paco!!
