*A cute little hat modeled by my Beatrice.

When my children were just babies, I decided I wanted to learn how to knit – I know, crazy time to pick up a hobby!  Realistically though, I was spending a lot of time at home and because I am the type to always have a project or something, knitting it was going to be.  A small and very quaint knit shop had recently opened near me.  I went in and never looked back!  It is really so simple to learn and if you feel you need a little comradery, most knitting shops have a community table or seating section where they welcome people to come in and knit and share projects and tips.  I highly recommend needle arts of all kinds.  Needlepoint, cross stitch, etc.  A great way to feel creative and the results are nearly always very satisfying!
