It is a cold, miserable, overcast day and therefore I am in the mood for knitting. Every year I pull out my knitting needles and my one ball of wool and reteach myself (because I have forgotten in one year) how to cast on and knit. I can only wish each time that I might suddenly discover that I am not half bad at this craft. Unfortunately, this year is like every other and I suck at it. I wish I inherited my grandmothers knitting flare and not just her stash of needles. Even my mother can knit quite well and made my eldest daughter a beanie and matching scarf a couple of years ago. I pester her every winter to make one for my second daughter but she never appears to seem inspired to do so. I am certainly not in any position to do it myself because the knowledge and ability just aren't there. All this knitting is really just procrastination for what I really should be doing, which is tied to the sewing machine making more stock.
I have been busy making my good friends daughter Miss Abby a rainbow coloured bunting and rainbow bracelet for her 5th birthday. I am pretty happy with the final result.
