Used to make bean bag chairs to sooth the soul and then give them as gifts.

Shifting over to restoring computer laptops, cell phones and older automobiles today.

Keeps stuff from ending up in landfills and always seems to find a happy faced recipient along the way.

If I need a sweater/pull over/sweat shirt/jacket, etc. thrift stores are too good to pass up.

Haven't been in a shopping mall in years.

Thx for all you do.

Love the real people around here still on planet earth.

My wife has branched out recently into socks and Musselburgh beanies.

I will consider the (knitted) gauntlet to be thrown! Prepare for my knitting projects to appear in future episodes. And yes, it is the perfect activity while listening to long podcasts! Although I'm sadly out of practice.

Thank you Niamh. My mother taught me, and my wife encouraged me to pick it up in recent decades. Both she and my daughter comment that according to online activity, the art seems to be undergoing a revival, which is great news.

Glad to see the cat is making itself at home! With fur long enough to be knitted it, he or she should beware! Is that Lottie?
