My First Blog Attempt
Hello Knitting Family,
I am launching my first blog! This all new to me and I'm thrilled to start sharing what is happening in my knitting world.
About four years ago, I started knitting scarves and was rewarded by my son encouraging my efforts by saying that he felt I was "available" when I was knitting while watching TV with the family instead of working on my computer. Funny that now that he is doing his online chatting and game playing, my husband & I struggle with his being "unavailable" due to the computer.
I've chosen serenity knitting as my blogspot because knitting has given me serentiy....I feel part of a community, productive, creative and relaxed. Recently I had a health problem and I needed to calm myself down...I pulled out my knitting. It didn't completely solve the problem but I felt more serene!
My knitting obsession has grown considerably and here I am venturing into the world of blogging about it.
