Knitting Dragonflies

I've noticed that not only is knitting relaxing to me, but it must be relaxing to others who are simply "watching" or just present.I have knitting at lunch more than once and looked over to notice that those that are with me are nodding off. I thought maybe I was just boring them to death. But later one woman said, "it's so relaxing to go to lunch with you and watch you knit". I didn't realize that knitting was that powerful of a practice. Motion, rhythm, sound, repeat......Sleep

I have not gotten much knitting done lately. Just busy with other things. I always have my knitting at work, but have been teaching others lately, and find I can't knit and teach, I feel like a prairie dog, popping up and down. But my co- workers made me promise to finish the Puce scarf, they claim since I started it we have had record amount of snow and ice. So it is done, now no longer name Puce, but a more springy name of: Moss on the trail scarf. Now that it is done may spring begin!! Moss on the Trail Scarf pattern I used 5 balls of Ara From Dale of Norway , it is a thick/thin spun colorway of green It is called Herb Garden. Crocheted scarf pattern Yarn amt. approx 250 yd's Yarn type bulky Hook see yarn label for recommendation Chain for about 55 inches for myself, shorter or longer, to your liking Row 1 sc in 2nd chain from hook, *chain 1, skip 1 chain, sc in next chain* continue until at end, end with a sc in last stitch and then chain 3 and turn Row 2 sc in first stitch

My girlfriend that I am teaching to knit and crochet has decided that I need to learn her passion. Hooping. I have not done anything with a hula hoop for??? I go to work one day and she presents me with a Hoop, my hoop, that she has made. This is not your childhood hula hoop, no, it is large and heavy and fun. I didn't expect to have so much fun relearning. I can only hoop with it around my waist right now. But she has taken me under her wing to learn the tricks of hooping, as I have her under mine concerning knitting. Check it out Hooping.org and you will see what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shqhod6OC-k I think the girl in the black fishnet tights, has a yarn tassel top.....Hummmmm
