On the way to Ohio two weeks ago, I sat next to a lady that was knitting. I minded my own business but, of course, I had to ask her HOW ON EARTH she got her knitting needles through security. We then proceeded to talk about knitting and crafts and I found out that in her spare time, she knits wool helmet liners for US serviceman who are in Iraq. She told me all about knitting and potholders and really inspired me to learn more about knitting. We ended up getting into this lengthy conversation about adopting, parenting, healthcare, marriage, and life in general. It was so fun to meet such a neat person on the airplane! She is also a scientist that makes vaccines which is extra facsinating. (Hi Sheri... if you are reading this!) So - what I learned about this was to never be afraid to ask questions and get to know someone. It was a great unexpected treat to start my weekend!
Yay for knitting! I am obsessed. Although I have known how to knit and have knit occasionally in the past, I "blame" you for this. Your wonderful crafts at MOPS got my crafty side awake again. And now I've gotten my sister back into it (she originally taught me), and she's getting a couple of her friends into it, too. It helps that my kids are no longer of the age where they'll get into my yarn or project and rip it apart.
