    Learning a new skill

    Over the weekend we had guests…my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. I had asked her if she’d show me how to knit some time. She said sure if I’d show her how to crochet.  We both learned something very interesting, I knit like a crocheter and she crochets like a knitter. It was difficult for each of us to break the habits that we used for our previous yarn work.  I’ve been trying again and again but never get any further than this. I’ll keep trying.

    I also made this journal cover  the other day but as I was working on a second one…my sewing machine started acting goofy. I think the timing is off…or maybe the tension. I’m going to have to bring it in for a tune up. It’s about 25 years old and has never been looked at…it’s well over due.

    Paper Bag Book

    A good friend of mine has a table at a craft fair purchased and asked me if I wanted to send anything along with her. She suggested paper bag books since she loves the ones I made for her kids so much.

    This is the only one I’ve gotten done so far… Hopefully I can get a couple more done before the deadline.
