Knitting Does A Body Good

My sister had some surgery this past week and is staying with me for her recovery. I introduced her to knitting a few days ago with some Lamb's Pride wool yarn and a set of size 9 circular needles. She is already 8 inches into her first scarf.

I had to laugh at her comment, "Is that all there is to it?" Yep, you can create a nice scarf with just the knit stitch. This does bring back memories of when I first picked up a set of knitting needles. What a thrill it is to realize that something so lovely can be created from a simple ball of yarn. All it takes is a bit of time and being confined to a recliner for 23 hours a day helps, too.
