I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Withdrawal
All this administrative stuff is definitely giving me serious sock withdrawal. Last night I dreamed of beautiful lacy socks. They were bright green which looked way prettier in my dream than they do in my memory this morning. All the lace was complicated and varied. I doubt I could ever reproduce it. There were many different sections - all done in different lace patterns. I remember that they weren't regular sections and some were very swirly.
But the best part was that I was being tutored in how to knit socks on two circular needles by none other than Cat Bordhi! Since this is a technique I've never tried, I can only take the dream to be an omen of where I should go next in the sock journey.
