I just want to say that I've never learned cable so your not alone there! If a pattern I like has cable stitch, I just turn the page and look for something different! I hope you give knitting another go one of these days - and why not this year, with winter on it's way it's always a good way to keep your lap warm. :-) Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249932461932536479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-47420201899196342632017-08-06T00:48:56.238+08:002017-08-06T00:48:56.238+08:00I learned to knit in high school and haven't t...I learned to knit in high school and haven't touched it since, though I think I would like to someday.

Every year I think about making them for my grandchildren, but then I remember how much time it takes and think, "I'll definitely get started early and do it next year."

I should do some knitting now that it is summer where I live. That may sound crazy since knitting is a better winter project, but I have some arthritis in my hands that is so much better during summer months, that this is the time I should get my knitting out. If it is mindless enough I can do it even when watching TV and now I'm going to look for The Handmaid's Tale to see if I can find it to stream. I read the book many years ago. #BloggingGrandmothersLinkPartyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664097336440373659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-31862200404979185242017-08-01T17:33:36.372+08:002017-08-01T17:33:36.372+08:00It's a case of slow and steady for me Denyse -...It's a case of slow and steady for me Denyse - an inch at a time but I'm in no rush so that takes the pressure off.

I did some knitting last year which was incredibly labouring for me as I am not a knitter but I was determined to make a little blankie for a granddaughter's dolly. I actually hurt my shoulder (don't laugh) knitting so the physio said 'no more knitting for you!'. I tried crochet and I sucked so I will stick to my art!

What could be cozier than knitting in the winter, says the woman who doesn't knit.I committed to a having a booth with a friend who is real crafty and makes beautiful items for 3 shows starting in October. So besides enjoying and harvesting and producing from my garden and working I am in full production. Note to self, winter is the time to stock up on making crafts. I am making 3 items. Upcycled cowboy shirts to aprons, tooth fairy pillows and catnip sock cat toys. There is a magnetic bookmark I wanted to make but that is not going to happen.
