I have had a long and tumultuous love affair with knitting. I started as a young girl, begging my mom to sign me up for lessons at our local knit shop, and I quickly found that I loved it. The hours that I spent in the quiet, coolness of that little yarn shop would help me forget all of my pre-adolescent heartaches and dramas. I gave up knitting when I got to high school...my schedule was much too packed with sports and studies.
All through college and my early twenties, I was much too busy (in my own mind) to take the time to get back into knitting, but every now and then, the thought would flare up, trying to pull me back. And now, with a little one on the way, I find myself drawn back to the needles, the softness of the yarn. I am starting with something simple...little baby booties in the softest pale blue. I am not the fastest knitter, or the most talented...but I am back, and it feels oh-so-good.

It's a beautiful thing when you find yourself drawn to something. Enjoy.
Gorgeous photographs, my dear! I am still just so excited for you and your little one.... Can't wait to see all the crafty goodness you come up with. That little boy is very lucky. :)
Isn't knitting just so meditative? It's not fast, but I love that it isn't really supposed to be. There is something really alluring about the process of knitting - especially for a new baby!
I taught myself to crochet when I was a preteen, but dropped it and didn't pick it up again until I was hit by a magical doily obsession halfway through college.
Hobbies can be a strange, strange thing.
Your blog is lovely! Congrats on the pregnancy!
Of course, I am happy to have you knitting again! Then we can talk knitting AND writing. Gorgeous color yarn for your wee babe. I love little baby items, so cute and so fast to knit. I'm making a nice little stash myself over here. Hope you are feeling well.
I went to visit your ladies today at seven arrows. All the chickens look fine the rooster was loud and the goat did act protective
