One year has passed since my companion, friend, husband left this present realm. I have journeyed extensively both emotionally, financially, physically, mentally and spiritually. I have had so many give their support to me in various ways. Like a marathon runner, many were on the sidelines passing me nourishment along the way. Some ran with me, others met me along different points, but all were a constant help in a time of need. I thank you each and all -- life was not intended to be done by oneself, but with others.
My journey is not over. I continue to grieve the loss of my husband, Gee. But I cannot change 'life'. I am where I am supposed to be and as such will continue to journey along. I know one day the hurt will be so much less. I can smile now w/o feeling guilty, I can sometimes watch TV programs we both shared and enjoyed together w/o feeling weird. I am acquiring confidence in my driving, although I still hate driving, but am getting places with the help of my TomTom and my daughter, The Navigator and Co-Pilot!
Knitting has been difficult. Sometimes I sit w/my needles and just zone out w/o knitting one stitch. But there are moments where I can't wait to get home and start knitting, but Max, our bichon never gives me an opportunity. Always, scoooching and barking to go out!
I will soon post some photos of work I have finished. Until then, keep knitting daily. . .
Welcome To Mom's Knitting Room
Welcome to my blog page. My site will update from time to time. You may on occasion see items rearranged or removed. So don't think you're going "crazy". I am still learning to navigate within the blog world. My knitting experiences have been very slight. I have only been knitting about four years. Learning the "ropes" and "ins and outs" of knitting from my mom who has been knitting for over 50 years. I have had the privilege of having many talented women and men teach me their "tricks of the trade". They have been generous and patient with me as I learn this craft. You might wonder why its taken so long for me to catch the "bug" of knitting, but until recently it occurred to me that this long lived art would die with my mom as she is the only one of three siblings who can knit and crochet. So in order to keep the tradition alive and hopefully pass this on to future generations in our family, I ventured out on this new journey and chapter in my life. There are many knitters out there so willing to help "newbies" along this expedition of knitting. Along the way, I have been able to impart some new techniques, skills and information to my 80 year old mom. I've been able to introduce her to fabulous fibers as well. . . . . Who said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!"
