Knitting is something I have never been able to master and I'm determined to not be defeated by a ball of yarn and 2 sticks!!Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-1822916649784848732008-12-20T09:03:00.000-06:002008-12-20T09:03:00.000-06:00I was just saying on Matriarchy's blog that the In...I was just saying on Matriarchy's blog that the Indy Challenge sounds really great, but a little daunting. But when you mentioned it is opening for newcomers, that pushed me over the edge to join. I can't wait to keep reading about how you are doing!<BR/><BR/>Oh, on the crafting, I can't figure out knitting to save my life, even though my mum and others have tried to teach me many times. Crochet is much better IMO for me... no idea why.

The blogging of it keeps me motivated. We are miles further along than we were before I started in April, and I feel better for it.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could figure out some kind of needlework. I used to do a lot, but my carpel tunnel and arthritis suck. I think I might be able to use a circular knitter to make hats and scarves, so I will explore that.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-70818872906752156962008-12-08T15:02:00.000-06:002008-12-08T15:02:00.000-06:00OK- I had been working on it and was trying to fig...OK- I had been working on it and was trying to figure out where I was going wrong- and I didn't think to bring mine along.
