i finally learned how to knit! i thought it would be fun to learn {don't ask me why} so i bought some yarn and a couple of needles, and asked lisa to teach me. she gave me a quick lesson, and i just couldn't get it. so i took another quick lesson from my intern, gina, and she was way too fast for me. then i looked on the internet and found some step by step instructions. that was a little more helpful. i even bought a book that promised i could learn to knit in one day!!! daryl just keeps laughing at me because it took me 6 days. what can i say? i'm a slow knitting-learner!
but i think i've finally gotten the hang of knitting straight rows of stitches....sort of. for some reason, i keep ending up with more stitches than i start with. the first "scarf" i made started with 24 stitches and ended with 30! it's got lots of holes where i dropped stitches, and somehow i even purled a row and didn't know i was doing it! colby thinks it's awesome so i gave it to him to use as a blanket for his webkinz! at least someone admires my work!

Your knitting was great! I don't think you have anything to worry about. It only took me about 35 years to reach your level. You are light years ahead of me. There is a lot you can do if you just master the knitting stich and the pearl stitch! Love you Ames! Lisa H. :o)
