Knitting

I went to a knitting group last night. I haven't knitted in years, and even when I did knit I was so beginner I never even completed one project - how lame is that! So now I'm back into it, with my orange cotton yarn knitting a dishcloth. Last time I tried knitting (also a dishcloth) my husband was teasing that it looked like I was making my own thong underwear (and when you looked at what I was making, you could say it DID look like thong underwear... takes a man to think of that!). My "thong" was freecycled along with a bunch of yarn and needles I bought at the thrift. So last night I bought new needles and yarn and hope to get back into it. Knitting seems like a nice relaxing thing to do, especially over the long prairie winters. Maybe it will help pass the time and keep my sanity while my husband is away. Okay, maybe thats a lot to ask of a hobby, but one can always hope.
