As much as I love knitted and crotched stuff my arthritis
will not allow me to manipulate the needles to produce lovely craft items. But
there is hope for me yet; a couple of weeks ago I told hubby I was bored that I
could only unpack so many boxes and do so many loads of laundry a day and
nothing personal but I can’t stay on the computer and surf the internet for
hours upon hours. So we wandered through the craft section of our local
Wal-Mart and we found the knitting looms so he bought me the circles and a
beginner how to book. I was in crafter’s heaven. We went back and bought a
straight loom and I have learned to make scarfs. This past weekend my oldest
son presented me with an early birthday present. He bought me the Martha
Stewart loom kit. I can’t wait to get started. I can now make baby blankets.
These are great items for beginners as well as those of us
that can’t hold needles for every long. I am back to knitting and totally
enjoying myself. This year everyone on our Christmas list is receiving
something homemade. This has given me a boast to my self-esteem I can knock out
a knitted hat in one day. A scarf takes a couple of days but I can see my handy
work coming together. Whereas before I would start a project and it would go
unfinished because my hands would hurt so badly. I am so happy to have found
these gems.
