yes! achievement!

I did it! I can now purl knit purl knit purl (otherwise known as seed stitch!) to my heart's content! And boy is it content now that I know how. I simply read along (once again) in my knitting book about purling. What I wasn't doing was moving the lose yarn to the front when I was purling, and then back to the back to knit... instead I was just leaving it there and creating a mess.

I think this morning I will knit at the coffee shop while I wait for my friend.Though I wish I was going to Sugar Browns, we will be going to Daybreak. I wish I was going to Sugar Browns because I briefly spoke to a guy there the other day who had sheep! He commented on my dog Shep, a Great Pyrenees, and about how he kept them with the sheep. If only I had not been so distracted- could have gotten me some wool!!

I can't wait to be able to make a sweater.

Each stitch means something. Whether it is a shield against tears, whether it is a gate against anger, or whether it is hope that I have a future and something to offer. Each stitch is carefully looked at and planned and appreciated.
