Several years ago I developed arithritis in my left hand and discovered that knitting might be helpful in easing the pain. So, I found knitting instructions on the web and started with the basics. That was about five years ago. At the same time Vickie Howell had a knitting show named Knitty Gritty and I received much encouragement from her by watching this show. I am constantly knitting while we watch Texas Ranger Baseball or just for enjoyment.
