Me, me, me.

OK, my husband wants me to blog about knitting - my wicked new obsession - so here goes. I started knitting in November after taking a class with my mother and sister-in-law and I just 'get it' and love it. It's such a simple thing, using two sticks to pull loops of string through other loops and then hold them in place until you can do it again - and people have been doing this for how long?

I've already gotten completely carried away and have about 4 projects going with another four or so lined up behind those but it's so much fun picking out a yarn and then finding a pattern to try it out on, or finding a pattern and looking for some yarn to suite - and then the unexpected surprise of what actually appears on the needles as the rows start to grow.

I don't know if I'll dig blogging as much but I'll make a solid effort to post pictures of my stuff up here and maybe talk about what I learned on each peice, or what surprised me about the yarn or the pattern

or something completely unrelated like -

did you know Phil Collins is one of the largest collectors of artifacts from the Alamo in the World? That's just too cool for words.
