Love to knit have been knitting for 11 yrs and am able to design on my own now, thanks to Elizabeth Zimmernan and all her books,, I have sewn my entire life~ I recently decided I wanted to quilt and sewed a few squares and loved it! I purchased a new machine for quilting but I must learn how to use it properly with classes, I know my old Elna so well , its hard to let go and learn this all over again~ But,,,all the 7 dear grandchildren LOVE hand knits and now they are asking for me( Nana) to make some for them and how can one resist that?? I play classical violin and have played a bit of Celtic tunes but am mostly classical, We also love to garden and I am constantly designing new gardens to put in,,( and older ones to take out) In other words I am trying to simplify gardening here so I can still enjoy the garden but not be working in it all week long~ Mother to 3 grown sons ( married) and love to RV w/ Dh when we can get away from work, I also am training a therapy dog so my day gets pretty filled pretty fast~ but oh,,,such fun!
