I don’t remember the last time I knitted something. I’ve only completed a few knitting projects ever (being a long-time crocheter and only a recent knitter), but it’s been a while since I did those — I’m guessing about two years?

Maybe it’s because the meteorologists are forecasting a “significant accumulation of snow” over the next couple days. I think part of me is drawn to the idea of hibernating with a pile of yarn, some bamboo needles and a quick project or two.

And coffee, of course. And a good book for when my cramping fingers need a little break.

Now I just have to re-teach myself exactly how to do a knit stitch and a purl stitch. I told you it’s been a while…
