I love that there are knit bloggers out there like Kathy! She posts patterns I want to knit (http://irisheyesknitters.blogspot.com/2013/09/weekend-wrap-by-coco-knits-julie.html?m=1). I already bought the pattern...
And my son helped me wind my yarn.
My $50 swift and ball winder have paid dividends in the years since I bought them.
My knitting ebbs and flows based on time and stress but it always is in the background of my life.
