Y = Yarn on ABC Blog

I am telling blogger to save this till Sunday but it insists on publishing it today. ??? I can't remember the last time I knit something...must be well over a year ago. This is the first year in five I did not knit sweaters for the little kids. They are still wearing the ones I knit last year. But when I had to come up with a word starting with Y for the ABC blog ATC swap YARN came to mind so I drew this on the envelope to Laure... and this in watercolors and ink on the front of the ATC card. Yarn sometimes shows up in my multi media art quilts too.
Did I tell you that my five year old grand daughter is being taught to knit in her kindergarden class? I bought her some small Lion Brand knitting needles with little kitties on the ends.

  7. that's amazing abt the knitting lessons. no one ever was able to teach me, left handed. and i might add later was never able to sustain knitting beyond a few knit and pearls. although I wish I could. It's like chewing gum for the nerves. Which I cant do anymore either as my fillings fall out.
