I've managed to pick up a new hobby.  I've been putting it off for years, mostly because I so don't need another hobby.  But between a few projects friends have been making, and a gorgeous sweater on ravelry, I've gotten sucked into the world of knitting.

D keeps calling me a granny.  I keep hitting D.  Someday I will train him out of it.

I signed up for a workshop on cable knitting last week (held this past Monday), and then realized that this isn't a beginner's class, so I'd better figure out how to knit.  It was easier than I expected, but that's probably because I technically learned to knit at the same time I learned to crochet, and that was well over 23 years ago; 23 years of crocheting also probably helped with things like yarn tension and handling.  Anyways, I blogged about my first attempts here.

The workshop was really good!  I met some great people around my age who knit, and most of whom meet up weekly from Sept-May at a local pub to sit and stitch.  I'm looking forward to joining them!  And along the way, I learned how to cable stitch!  Actually, it requires less magic than I thought, although you do use a cute little wand needle to do it.

So yay, new hobby!
