Enjoy your knitting!

I was into computers, art,working, children, etc. But I had to go on disability (I have a lung disease), and going back to knitting gave me a reason to live in a way. And all the new yarns that we have today that we didn't have 20 years ago. It's a real stress reliever. Have fun. Wheezer
