So glad you made it to my site. I love having a blog, it's like Noelle says sometimes you have stuff you want to get out there to friends and family but it's 2 a.m. Thanks for the link to the thrumming stuff. I actually read that particular blog. Yarn Harlot is really funny, you should read her blog all the time you'd like it. I find knitting to be theraputic too. It makes me think about the hundreds and hundreds of generations of women and men who knit not for leisure but out of necessity. Can you imagine everyone needing to know how to knit so they could have warm things to wear? Amazing isn't it. Did you check out Noelle's blog? It's the link on the right called Sadie Says. Hi Mom.

I was so touched that you wrote about Moms knitting needle holder and how much it meant to you. I agree, you and your Oma and much in common, you are both gifted loving people. God gave you both the love, passion and talent of art including knitting. I am glad to see a renewed interest in this earthy craft. I look forward to teaching or help in the teaching of all my grandchildren. It may sound sappy, but I feel closer to God and to my mom when I knit. It is so theraputic and when my hands are sore with this crazy arthritis, the new bamboo needles help in their warmth. I will send some sites about the fleese knitting. love and huggs Mom hello dear Louise, well I got my computer back and I can now read your site again!
