Knitting, especially in the cold weather months of late fall, winter, and early spring here in the northwest corner of lower Michigan, is especially important to me. I knit a lot and I teach a lot during these months. I love teaching people how to knit and my students seem to be thrilled with learning this amazing craft that is thousands of years old. I am continually amazed at how much I learn through teaching, how many new friends I make, how much connectivity to community we all experience.

Just three of my many new sock knitters with their first socks:

Nancy
Wendy

Connie (Dory in background working on independent knitting project)



Carol (far right, seated) hosted a few members of our
