i have had several flight attendants say they want to learn to knit ..

this weekend, i am flying with Karen, we were in Raleigh/ Durham on Thur
she said she wanted to learn, so we went to Walmart to buy cotton yarn, needles & a pattern book for dishcloths ..

i got her thru the basics ..
tonite, in Montreal, we are tooooo tired ..
but i think she will get it ..
i may have to drive north, or SHE mite have to come down ..

anyways ... i am having TTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun working with her ..
i started a pair of gloves out of Baby Monkey & Opal ..

will let you know the progression ..
they are black ... hard to see to work on when i am tired ..
