A Poem To Knit By
Under the fence
(Insert the tip of the right needle up into the center of the top loop on the left needle.)
Catch the sheep
(Wrap the yarn from back to front around the right (back) needle.)
Back we come
(Insert the tip of the rightneedle down into the center of the stitch on the left needle, then toward your body.)
Off we leap
(Pull the right needle up so that the stitch on the left needle slides off the tip of the left needle.)

I can to a lot of crafty things.
I just don't stay with one for very long.
I learned how to crochet and knit when I was in college.
Now, over the past 20 years or so, I occasionally pick up my knitting needles or my crochet hook and make something.
I was motivated yesterday to begin knitting again, because Z2 needed some lessons. She is rehearsing for Kellogg High School's upcoming drama production "Twelve Angry Women", and her character is knitting throughout the play. So she asked me to teach her how.
So I decided to get out my knitting needles and start on a project as well.
I started this scarf last night, and it is coming along nicely.
It kind of looks patriotic in this picture, but the third color is actually purple, not blue.
To refresh my memory, I always go back to using the information in this book:
It has nice, simple instructions on how to cast on, knit, purl and cast off. That is where I found the cute little knitting poem, too.
So, while I'm motivated, I'm taking advantage of the "knitting fever" that has come over me, and I hope to keep it going for some time.
