Knitting

"How would it look, do you think, if everyone, old and young, would sit down together to knit for a while? Laughter and merriment and riddles and questions and folktales and anecdotes from each person's life would blend together in the stitches. Then later, when you recalled these events that have gone through your own fingers stitch by stitch, they would speak their own quiet language: Do you remember? Do you remember?" --Hermanna Stengard

My mother taught me how to knit when I was 9 or 10. My mother, two sisters and I are all knitters - one of those occupations that cross generations and bond us. I have taught my niece how to knit as well as several friends. I think its critical that skills like knitting are passed on through the generations. Here are pictures of some of my finished projects and pictures from a sisters' trip to the TKGA National Conference.
