A new hobby

Well, with this long wait I have decided to take up a new hobby that I've always wanted to try. My mom and I have begun a knitting class once a week. Our first project is a pair of mittens. Joe was making fun of me for taking the class saying that I would be in a room full of older folks and it's actually just the opposite. The others are slightly older than me and we've been having fun. I guess all of the older folks already know how to knit!!! Joe won't be making fun when he has nice sweaters and hats to wear (when hes 90 the way I'm knitting right now)haha.
My mom, who also crochets, has decided to conduct a waiting project of her own. She has decided to knit hats for the children of the orphanages. This is so kind and will definately keep her busy. I plan to tackle a security blanket pattern with really nice yarn when this class is over. Wish me luck.
