My Mom, the Knitting Machine


My Mom came to visit. She was here for two weeks and it was WONDERFUL. I miss my Mom. She used to knit when she was younger, but hadn't knit in over 30 years. But since I have recently 'discovered' knitting, she's decided to take it up again. Only, she had forgotten how to cast on. So while she was here I taught her how to cast on. (No easy task - my Mom is left handed and I am not.) But cast on she did. And she knit herself a scarf. Then she knit herself a hat. Then she decided to start knitting baby hats. And knit baby hats she did - 11 of them! (In like, a week.) She is going to talk her Red Hat Ladies into knitting baby hats to give to the hospital. She is a kniting machine. She is unstoppable. She is my Mom, and I miss her.
