Yarn

There is a whole lot of yarn around here insulating this house. If I fell out of my chair right now there would be yarn to cushion my fall. Do you think my home owner’s insurance policy could be lowered due to all the cushioning going on around me?

Why am I here?

Why start a new blog or website on November 1 of 2018?

For the past 10+ years I have had two blogs over on blogspot and there have been webpages that were built and maintained after completing two webpage building courses. Those are long gone after the hosts decided that they wanted to start collecting money to allow me to appear there. My blog over there on the other location will probably be removed when I get around to it since it was mostly aimed at my Etsy shop which is also just hanging out all empty due to my own disinterest.

Who am I?

I am a 60 year old born and raised in Michigan yarn-addicted knitter. My knitting days began before my double-digit years after my mom and her mom took a night class through one of the local libraries. They didn’t knit long after that so I took over the book, yarn, and the needles and it’s been on-stop from there.

There’s more to me than just knitting but we can get to that since I’m planning on being around for a few more decades. Sharing personal thoughts and feelings are usually not my forte on the internet. It could happen.

Writing has always been one of my favorites and during my school years several courses in various types of writing lured me in and I thrived in the creative writing courses as well as the research and expository writing courses. In my past life becoming a writer or a reporter were dreams of mine. The closest I came was to be an in-house reporter for two companies that I worked for and a reporter for my high school publication. Recently, my mom found copies of those and they are now here in a file right next to me.

November is my Birthday Month.

The special offers have started to arrive in my inbox this morning and I’m still waiting for the ones for the free yarn. So far, I’m being offered free shipping and discounts. Each year I do take advantage of a free dinner from Rochester Mills Brewery and a free Blizzard from the Dairy Queen.

Stay tuned………………
