To Knit, or Not To Knit

Earlier today, Kristin went to her first knitting session. Apparently, knitting has made a real comeback and is not just for 70 year-old ladies anymore.

As for me, I'll keep trying (tonight was my first try at 9:00 PM. I don't know if I'll ever join the Male Knitters group, but I'll see if I can't make some baby clothes out of it.

My wife's knitting is the one in blue. Much better than mine.
