I have enjoyed these over the years, in fact fell in love with each one in turn: knitting, crochet, needle point, counted cross stitch and now quilting. As well as working on a small quilt that I need to rest from periodically to protect my neck I am knitting socks and a sock yarn blanket with left over balls of what I consider treasured machine washable wool yarn too good to waste! Oh, I also jumped into knitting a small colorful cotton rug for my bathroom when I could not find the right color in the stores. This is not the right color!...but it does incorporate some of the right ones, and the colors remind me of my time in Santa FE, NM. It does cheer me to work with color in so many ways. just can't leave it alone.When I can tear myself way I read mysteries set in Italy, and get my exercise when I walk the streets and hop on the vapparreto in Venice with the characters.
