That is pretty much my approach to things too! I have recently been buying a magazine called 'Simply Knitting' which has excellent patterns as well as good instructional sections. Great if you are learning. I like to crochet as well - but I am entirely self taught with that. I would like to get much better, but I need more hours in the day!!!

Good grief! I knitted a sweet corn once, but that's sane by comparison. Actually, I knit a lot of Kaffe Fassett stuff... or rather, I have several projects in various stages of completion stored in boxes in the attic. I haven't dared pick up a pair of knitting needles since we exceeded a dozen cats. They don't mix that well with tapestry either... cat

I think we have more cats than just about anyone! We did have 18 at one time, but we've lost a few in recent years. The numbers don't go down much though. The last two were ferals I picked out of our local woods and tamed myself. The latest came from a neighbour's son after a marriage break up. We probably have more ferrets than most sane people too Whistle

Most of them are waifs and strays

All ours are either strays, or ferals I've trapped and tamed myself. I've had begging e-mails from people asking us to take on their cats too. I tend to think if fate sends an animal my way, then it was meant to be Smile
