\"knitted<\/a> I am taking a small break from cooking-<\/p>\n

not really- I am taking a small break from writing about cooking.<\/p>\n

I’ve been cooking\/baking by day and knitting by night.<\/p>\n

Knitting within my small capacity to understand directions.<\/p>\n

I think my disability comes from my inability to count.<\/p>\n

I could never do counted cross stitch because I would get lost and muddle about the cloth- making random crosses here and there- looking more like chicken scratches than anything else.  The same is true for knitting a pattern- I certainly start well, but then I lose count.<\/p>\n

Then I lose patience.<\/p>\n

Then I lose heart.<\/p>\n

And I stop.<\/p>\n

But, I did manage to knit an entire pair of socks.<\/p>\n

And I can knit a hat and scarf-<\/p>\n

\"knitted<\/a> <\/p>\n

\"knitted<\/a> <\/p>\n

And I knitted a purse, which I felted and now need to knit the handle and embellish the purse with wool.<\/p>\n

I knit a lot like I bake- following a form but fitting it to my style and interests and tastes.<\/p>\n

I am a woman of small and humble talents.  But sometimes that is enough to make one contented.   And armed with a camera and a small way with words and access to the internet , those talents almost look impressive.<\/p>\n

Before I dazzle you anymore with my many accomplishments, I am going to stop- mainly because I’ve run out of pictures.  ( I have rarely run out of words.)<\/p>\n

I’ll be back tomorrow with more recipes to share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
