Knitting. I used to know how to crochet and could probably pick it up again, but I prefer to knit.

The current one is a 9-patch, with 4" squares. As soon as I get an appropriate chalk pencil (the one I have is no good), I can get back to quilting it. I can't stencil otherwise.

I've started on the new one, and I learned I have an intense dislike of basting fabric to paper pieces.

I want to learn to knit sometime, too.

I just saw this thread and it reminded of me of yesterday.

I graduate this year, Sunday actually, but yesterday was seniors' last day of school.

Anyway, at the school there is a substitute teacher who is known for always knitting. She'll give the teachers agenda for the teaching plan, then go to knitting. People either love her or hate her. I used to be pretty annoyed with her, but one day me and some classmates gave her so much crap, and I actually formed a very deep respect for her.

Now whenever I see her, I hug her. Everytime, if I saw her in the hallway I hugged her, she actually came to a play I was in, and I hugged her and spun her around. I think she is one of the coolest ladies ever.

Anyway...yesterday after 2nd period I got called down to the office along with a bunch of other senior students. Apparently this sub teacher knits beanies (hats not animals) for senior students. And I got one! So far, its by far my favorite senior year gift. Money is all well and good, but a hat knitted by a really cool old lady has, by far, a lot more meaning.

Sorry for the long, and maybe pointless post, but I was just so excited about the thing

I agree with her!

Though Pru, I know a two year old nephew of mine that would LOVE it

I had a productive weekend. In addition to finally, after two years, painting the bedroom closets and bathroom hallway, I finished both my baby afghan projects I owed to other people.

Photos suck a bit, but it was late, lighting sucked, and I was sleepy.

Thanks! My old boss was shocked -- **SHOCKED** -- that I had any domestic-type skills.
