Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Img_0308 This is living proof that defies that old adage about new tricks. Meet my "much younger" (as she introduces herself) sister, Jane, who has learned to knit. Not only did she catch on really quickly, her first official project is of challenging eyelash yarn and she’s completed one ball without one mistake. She may be younger, however, I will always be first 😉

On the other hand it never hurts to start them young:

And here is another shot of Maya, (my niece’s new baby and knitter-to-be), pictured with her Auntie Amalie (also a knitter), in the strawberry hat I made for her:

    Aww, you’re mean 😉 I notice you didn’t start her off with some nice, smooth, wooden needles and Koigu or Regal Silk or some other “top shelf” yarn!
