I’ve not kept in touch and thought I would reintroduce myself.
My name is Wendy and I’m a self taught knitter of about 2 years now. I’m single and 48 years old.
I have 2 grown daughters and a westie
I decided to learn knitting due to an accident that has left me unable to work as a nurse and with major chronic pain.
I cant tell you how thankful I am to have decided to learn to knit because it helps me to focus on something else besides the pain and little did I know it would help in other area’s of life as well.
I recently (day before my bday) lost my best friend unexpectedly, he passed away in his sleep. I’ve been knitting like a mad since then and its helping.
Right now I’m trying to knit a Cabled Raglan Sweater from a pattern I got for free on Knittingdaily.com its giving me fits though and I’ve bugged poor Ingrid till I’m sure she will go into witness protection :whistle: LOL
Why do patterns have to be so complicated some times? I wonder if they write them so that we bang our heads on purpose. I think of it like the Ice cream man when you were a kid… you hear the music, you run to catch him and he speeds off to force you to run behind the truck! LOL
