Kauai Chicken
I am still obsessed with knitting. I finished my scarf while in Kauai. I knit in public all the time, but knitting by the pool brings out the crowds. Everyone else has a book so I guess they are curious. I don’t have a book, and I have to be careful where I put the lotion …
Anywho, I digress …

There is such a thing as a nice tangle, and this is it.
I visited a friend this morning to use her knitting equipment. She has a swift and winder – used to convert a wool skein into a ball. If you start knitting from a skein, it gets tangled and you spend more time untangling than knitting. Not good. It does beg the question, why sell tangly skeins? You need to wind it into a ball, preferably with a swift. The alternative is to either put the skein on your feet (or a friend’s hands) and wind manually. Also not good.
Anywho, I digress …

I love knitting, but not this much ...
I have lots of hobbies that I pick up and drop as the fancy takes me. I have many boxes labeled “Lisa’s Forgotten Hobbies”, although I like to think of them as hibernating rather than forgotten. In addition to gardening, I have rediscovered my love of knitting. It is odd that my knitting stuff never made it into one of the aforementioned boxes – I wish it had. I have “lost” my knitting bag that contains my most recent (started 6 years ago!) project.
I have been looking around for a new knitting project to get started. In addition to the “lost” project, I have found 4 others that I could resurrect, but I like choosing the wool and starting a new project. Notice a theme here?
Anywho, I digress …
