My husband was going in for surgery and I needed something to occupy my time that wasn’t mental—you know, something other than reading, Sudoku, etc.

I taught myself to knit from a site on the web and I’ve already made two really cool scarves (after several “start-learn-then-unravel” mini-training sessions) and I’m working on a REALLY awesome “open-work” shrug to wear.

TOTALLY fun! Very calming, very addictive!!
