#66 Knitting and Crocheting

Ah, a warm fire, your loving pet snuggled at your feet, a cup of tea, and your knitting needles clicking away, creating a Sweater? A tea cozy? A tangle of yarn resembling a large rats nest? This has been my experience with knitting. I have made a complete scarf, with fringe, several years ago, and have since started another, probably 2 years ago and its stuffed in a bag, waiting for me to finish it. I enjoy the experience, its very soothing, but am never sure what to do when I make a mistake. As for crocheting, its lovely, and I made many long, long crocheted strings in my youth, because I didn't know how to put them together. I would like to make an afghan or a prayer shawl, and probably with concentration and some help I could do that. Unfortunately, we don't have a knitting group at our branch, something we have discussed on several occasions, but as yet have found no one to facilitate it, or a good time for it. I am hopeful though, because I would like to learn the proper way to knit.
