Oh my..
Why haven't i browsed the hobbies section in this forum before?
i have subscribed to so many threads, and responding in this one because this is exciting to me...

Years ago, i would spend lots of time with my grandmother as a child.
One thing i hold very dear to me, was her teaching me to knit and crochet.
Also, a dear friend of mine taught me to do tatting, much fun as well. i'd love to revisit that one day as well.

Isolating myself for years and years, i let go of many hobbies of mine..
Merely not allowing myself to do things i love..Knitting and crocheting is one of them. Since being here in Oregon, i had the pleasure of being tasked with cleaning through some boxes and things Mr Mtn has been wanting to clean out, and i found some knitting books and magazines which belonged to His mother and started to go through them. A friend of Ours here We gave the yarn to, and will give some of the books but since then have decided that i will keep some for myself as well, i really want to get back into knitting and crocheting and creating some beautiful things again!

Love that i am taking my life back, and will love revisiting old hobbies as well as finding new hobbies.. Much looking forward to looking back in this thread & getting myself back into this! Especially now that my Nanny G can't knit or crochet anymore because of her eyesight, and alzheimer's.. But i would love to do this, for her especially.. <3

Thanks for this thread!
