Knitting 101

It's unbelievable how fast time flies. We should have been in the Bay Area by now. My husband was actually supposed to start working for Yahoo today in Sunnyvale, California, but due to a series of unfortunate events on their part, it hasn't happened yet, and we're still waiting to receive the official Offer. I had put everything on hold for the last 3 weeks in order to get ready for this move, but now we're not sure what's going on. We practically gave away a whole houseful of furniture and I've also been donating tons of stuff. Now all we have to do is wait and see what happens!
I did take a bit of a break on Saturday to get my mind off of all the "to do" lists that I've been making. The library was offering a free knitting class "Knitting 101" which I had registered for back in September. So... I finally got some much needed "therapy", and some much needed advice and tips that corrected some of the knitting techniques that I had taught myself. Seeing someone do it in person and having "hands on" training really helped! Now I can "cast on" and knit like a pro! I've actually started 2 scarves (one with the size 11 needles and lemon-grass green yarn that was provided during the class, and a second one with fiesta Homespun yarn and size 8 needles which I purchased when I started teaching myself) I am now working on these at night just before going to bed. Did you know that it has been proven that knitting and crocheting can reduce stress?! I now believe it!
Anyways, I guess I'm back for an indefinite time period, until we get more concrete info about the relocation process... So I will keep you posted!
