A Stitch in Time

Beginning today, I have decided to start a blog about my knitting in general.  There hasn't been a time when I have not knitted.  As early as ten years old, on the old couch in my childhood home, my mom brought out knitting needles to help me and my girlfriend, Marion, remedy a day we called "boredom."

We struggled and made many "start overs," but my mom was patient and taught us how to do the knit stitch.  Then after conquering that step, came the purl stitch.  My mom taught herself, she said then, so in a sense we learned together.  The time passed quickly, and that was when it all began.
