It's just the beginning.....

It's the beginning of what I hope will be a fun time with you, my blog readers. As you already know from my intro, I am retired and love to knit. About three years before retirement, my friend Kate invited me to be a co-advisor for a group of high school students who liked to knit. I accepted even though I hadn't picked up needles in decades. Kate's statement, and I use it now too when I teach or reintroduce people to knitting, "once the fingers learn to knit they never forget."

My fingers first trip down memory lane was knitting squares and hats for an orphanage in Kenya. (Knit-a-square.com). Kate was right, my fingers did remember and my quest to knit as much as possible began. Our knitting group grew and co-workers joined us. Some knew how to knit and some had to learn. 

When Kate and I decided to retired, we needed more time to knit, our co-workers wanted to keep the knitting groups going. Two years later with two additions to our group, we still meet every week. Our new additions are baby girls, 9 months old, who join us knitting with their moms every week. One baby enjoys unraveling her skein of orange yarn. 

Enough for now.  I'll be back with more and some completed and in progress projects. Also info about an upcoming adventure.
