My gradmother knitted for the Red Cross. She took hers to the movies and knotted in the dark. I was facinated. Now I sometimes crochet in the dark.

Family gatherings, TV watching, volunteering in Yosemite National Park are all reasons to carry a knitting project along with a book. My Ipad has a knitting magazine along with stacks of them elsewhere. Keep up the encouragement.

I remember from the late 50s and early 60s that my mom’s friends who were nurses often did a lot of knitting when they were on the night shift. I am guessing that nurses now are not allowed to have that much spare time!
