I seem to always NEED to make something! They both help with stress (I'm in the midst of a separation), and I find along with my swimming and yoga---keeping my fingers and my brain busy with creating an item really helps. Reading is another activity I do ALOT--2 or 3 books a week and also volunteering since I'm 62 now.<br />I send along my support for your recent loss, and know that, even though we have not met, many of us want the best for you.Cynthia K-R in Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-30202468669290514772012-09-07T10:40:52.704-04:002012-09-07T10:40:52.704-04:00Ohhhh, thanks for all this, Marianne :^) I would ...Ohhhh, thanks for all this, Marianne :^) I would still write Hugs regardless because I love it, but it's good to know other people like it too.<br /><br />Good for you picking knitting up again. Maybe I'll finally figure out crochet when I retire (or Bridge, or piano, like I've wanted to!)Mary Keenanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260934319762115179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023057129228541740.post-37120596365426574942012-09-07T07:59:11.690-04:002012-09-07T07:59:11.690-04:00I wish I was better with sewing! Love your bags! ...I wish I was better with sewing! Love your bags! I began knitting after my father died, I have 2 of the learn to knit books, wasn't doing very well with it so dropped it. I retired a year ago, my son showed me how to find knitting help on the lap top. I haven't tackled socks as yet, I have made 2 hats now though!! I also just completed a bear, Pat's bear patterns are just wonderful!! <br />Love your blog, keeping you in prayers, loosing a loved one especially a parent takes time to heal. Just know that there are many out here that really care about you, though we have never met. You mean something to us or we wouldn't be following your blog! <br />Take care.. surrounding you with hugs and prayers {{{{HUGS}}}Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18415577243079006336noreply@blogger.com
