I can’t believe I got sucked up into this silly game!  I was dead set against this sort of game on Facebook.  The little public announcements that crops need to be fertilized, the constant gift requests, the fact that it’s time I shouldn’t spend on the computer… 

It all started with my son.  He got a Facebook and began playing these silly games.  Then I started helping him while he was at school… Just checking in on his crops and helping him plant some things.  Then he said that he wanted some Farmville friends, but I didn’t want him bugging everyone on Facebook about it so I told him to add me.  That’s where I went wrong… I should have never been FRIENDLY… Anyways, now I am full on hooked.  So silly, I know…  Sooo, I guess this is my round about way of asking, “If you are on Facebook, would you please send me gifts?  I am collecting Whitewashed fences.”    j/k…. no really, send me fences…

My favorite part of knitting is the fact that I can take a ball of string and two (sometimes four) sticks and make pretty much anything I can imagine.  To loose your troubles with a difficult pattern or to contemplate a problem while working a simple mindless stitch.  The fact that while I am wasting time watching TV or while I wait for my kids to get out of school I can actually accomplish something.  I love the feeling I get when I finish a project and see the finished product knowing that my hands created every stitch.  I love knitting for my family and friends.  I enjoy teaching someone a trade passed down from generation to generation of time.  I often wonder who thought up this thing and how on Earth they figured it out.  Wouldn’t it be interesting if there were some sort of knitting line like a family tree that could trace back who taught you and then who taught that person clear back to the origins of knitting?  Some people may not understand a person who thoroughly enjoys the handcraft of knitting, but let me tell you something… Knitting ain’t just for granny and don’t knock it before you try it!
