Crafty people

I've been meeting the most interesting people through crafts. In the last several months, each visit to a local yarn shop (JoAnn Fabrics, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Knitique, Anna's, etc.) has led to fabulous conversations and shared tips.

Just today I got a great tip about using my Black and Decker Workmate (available at Sears, Home Depot, Amazon, etc.) with my Addi Express knitting machine. What an awesome idea!


What awesome tip have you learned lately?

My thanks to all the crafters who've shared their time and passion with me.

Now, here's a yarn

I haven't been blogging much, I am very busy with knitting and crochet projects. I've met a wonderful bunch of women at the Martin Luther King, Jr. library that knit, crochet and pursue any manner of wonderful crafts.

I'll be posting about our projects and experiences.

Now that I'm semi-retired, I can put a little more time into my blogs. If you are checking them out you will hear a lot about some of the following:

• Crafts (I knit, crochet, quilt, embroider, etc.)
• Things made of wood ( I'd love to sculpt, and want to learn to use a lathe.)
• Books (Those I'm reading and authors I like. I'll make recommendations.)
• Food (What can I say? I love food.)
• Topics that engaged me (This could be anything from politics, to human interest, to cryptids)

I hope you'll drop by now and then to read what I've been up to.
