(Born in Iowa, lived their 9 years, then moved to SD, lived their 9 years, then roamed over the USA for quite a while with a stint in Japan and Hawaii and settled here in NC Been here now for over 20 years and call it home.)
Yes, I find a dilemma with my knitting, needlework, sometimes painting, family and puppies (I have 4 dogs - one a service dog for myself) all which require lots of time and of course, a full time job. (I teach preschool 8 hours a day.) But even insurance companies have noted that we are actually not only happier people (stitchers / crafters) but also healthier people. Good reasons for our indulgences, wouldn't you say?

At 7:30am on September 2, 2008, Be Happy said…: Hi ya Ingrid,
Thanks for your note.
Well,... I am in the process of knitting hats with earflaps! My first hat,ss, Was really leary about doing it, but find they are lots of fun.
They are for my daughteer and 2 grandsons. So hope they like them. I sort of don't knit things for other people, as I don't know if they like! Have heard stories from friends who really felt bad, after working so hard. But I am always glad to do it if asked!!
I think painting is my favorite, but haven't done as much since
picking up knitting this last year. After a couple of years of pushing by my leader,(teacher) I changed from oils to watercolors.That did it! Pretty much do only watercolors. Just finished a painting of a 'lonely' iceberg on yupa paper. Very interesting. But I like it. I like doing different subjects.
Sorry, but I need to stop for now. Will get back soon.
If you would like to tell me more of what you like, etc, and just chat be glad! Pris

Right know I am teaching 3 kids in my nieghborhood to knit. The range in ages from 8 to 11. 2 boys and a girl. If you have any suggestions on beginner projects I would gladly welcome them.
Happy knitting

I like to combine different colors and textures of yarn to make pillows and scarfs. I just started a scarf with a lacy pattern - this is where I run into trouble - I need to learn how to focus and not get distracted. My friend Diane and I made magnet boards and using long strips of magnets that we can move helps us keep track of the rows. We'll see how many times I will end up taking out stitches. I'm not getting too far with the crochet project. Again I lose track of rounds, etc. I started making pocketbooks out of old jeans. I had to break out the sewing machine to work on them. I finished a few & they came out pretty good. Need more time getting back on track using the sewing machine. Each time I see another craft I want to get involved. I witnessed a woman painting on silk. She also just squeezed paint onto a wet silk plain white scarf - no specific drawing in mind - similar to tie-dye that the kids do. Very fascinating. I don't have any talent for free hand drawing but the other way I described would be fun to try. Maybe next year. My husband would throw me out (just kidding) if I start another type of project. Bye for now Grandma Gail

At 7:41pm on April 20, 2008, Yvonne said…: Hi, I just joined also. Have been knitting for about 60+ years. Knitted many sweaters, socks, mittens, just about everything but fairisle. That is my next project to learn. There are no knitting shops or clubs where I live. There are a few people who knit and gather at a local craft store, but I don't feel comfortable there, so I stick to internet. I do most of my shopping there. What a wonderful experience. Before the internet I ordered yarn from Bendigo Woolen Mills in Australia. I live in California. Listen to many knitting podcasts. And knit while doing so. I also listen to many audio books while knitting. Thank for the message. Yvonne
