Knitting! Yesterday was the second meeting of my knitting class! It only meets once a week for three weeks, but I am really excited about it. The first night we learned how to knit and began making a scarf, and last night we learned how to purl and follow a pattern and began a dishcloth!

I am really proud of myself for signing up for this class. I'm very bad at taking time for myself, the direct result of which is me having absolutely no hobbies. I don't know why I wanted to learn how to knit, but I really did. And having just a couple hours a week to sit with a bunch of other nice ladies and talk and laugh and grumble at missed loops makes me feel like an old lady in the absolue best way. It also makes me feel a little bit like myself again.

I'm excited for our next and last class (even though it lands on my husband's birthday - what a great guy, not getting too mad at me for hobbying it up on his bday). I'm also excited about taking more classes and for possibly taking advantage of the shop's "open knitting" hours on Thursdays nights when people can just show up and knit.

I am also excited to get home to my dishcloth.
