Hello.

During a conversation with a very dear friend of mine I found myself apologizing for going on about some details that she didn't really have to know about. She assured me that it was all right and that I was just an out loud thinker. I thought for a moment and realized she was spot on! (after all thats what friends are for, right?) I tend to work things out verbally. This can be somewhat difficult for someone who is home all day with just a four year old for company. Which brings me to the allure of a blog. A place for my thoughts to go when my brain is full and there is no one around to share the load.

Besides raising boys, knitting has become what I think about most. I'm addicted and perhaps a little bit crazy. Which I have noticed from reading other knitting blogs is not at all unusual. In fact I feel that slight insanity is indeed the norm among the knitting community. We talk of our ever growing yarn stashes and we create amazing things like bananas, aliens, and digestive systems.

Being a mom, a wife, and a knitter is indeed a full time job. The pay is decent and the benefits are glorious! I wouldn't change a thing. As I struggle with health problems and the day to day stress of life it is my faith that gets me through. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for two hands that when equipped with two pointy sticks (or 4 lovely little dpn's) and some yarn I can create something delightful that will make someone else smile.

Being still a somewhat new knitter I hope to some day create and post original patterns. But for now I will just share my projects and whatever else comes to mind...............

Happiness to you in your life ahead!
