May you live in interesting times

May you live in interesting times...the Chinese had it right, that is a curse...but it can also open new areas, vistas, and friendships...one just has to be open to finding a new way.  Crocheting has taken abit of a back burner since my thumb became sore from over crocheting.  Knitting has returned as a favorite.  I still enjoy creating toys, but socks and hats are fun too.  My solitary joys are creating new chances at friendships...I am now knitting with others and have learned I can't knit a pattern and talk. Attention is required for me .
