Knitting

It is to my shame to acknowledge that in my whole life I have NEVER EVER completed a cross stitch project that I started. And I mean starting from when I just had one digit numbers to my age. I start all excited and dream of the finished project hanging on my bedroom wall. But somehow the dreams are never realized. Well, never realized by my hand. My aunt has always taken over the projects from me after my once again failed attempt and they are proudly hung on the walls.
And yes, I had the audacity to begin another project when I first came to USA. Needless to say, it is still an unfinished product. I will have to bring it back to my aunt :)
Anyways, I say all these to say that I have now started on a different project. Knitting. But with a more realistic goal. I bought some yarn and knitting sticks today and looked up on how to knit on the internet. After a few failed attempts, I got the hang of it and have hopes that my red scarf will turn out, if a bit bedraggled. Because of my past history, I have already resigned myself to the fact that if nothing else, I enjoyed myself for a little while with two sticks and a yarn.
Gerald laughed at me today when he saw what I had in my hands. He is well aware of my past.
