Well, I got a little webcam and now I have to figure out how to use it. Bear with me, I'm a beginner.

Besides knitting which I love to do - keeps me sane - I plan to put in my 2 cents about faith, politics, history and whatever happens to be going on in the world that strikes me. I invite people to disagree with me, but nastiness is unacceptable. Just had to get that said.

My current issue is the constant carping on the subject of racism when anyone disagrees with the current administration. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, and I'm sure there are bigots of every stripe out there. Speaking for myself, I don't care if a politician is a Martian. If I think he or she is doing something wrong I reserve the right to say so, and if I think he/she is on the right track, I'll say that too. For the record I'm a big Sarah Palin fan. Wish she'd move into my neighborhood.

Just my opinion.

I accepted the Knitting Olympic challenge and set the bar too low. Thought I'd knit a pair of socks for a friend. Now whenever I have a deadline, something always conspires to derail me, so I figured that would happen, and being a slow knitter, that would be a perfect 2 week challenge. Well, of course, nothing happend to derail me, so in the tradition of the biathalon, I took a penalty lap and assigned a second pair of socks. I actually got 3/4 of the way through the second sock. For me this is downright amazing. So I feel I made my goal and deserve to display the pin.

Now I'm going for the Iknitarod. More socks. My favorite thing to do. I admit to be addicted to self patterning sock yarn.
