Hi Toni, I thought you might like to see my memorial blog on Missy with lots of photos of the two of us. No rush, whenever you get a chance. Karen 1578 days ago

“Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!” -Steve Maraboli Thank you for reading and commenting on my "MOVE-ember" blog! I hope you have a very healthy November! 1636 days ago

Hi Toni, Sorry you don't know someone who knits sox, but I would think that youtube would help; or searching (google, bing, etc) for knitting sox (or socks) would give you many sites that could help. If you see one and it doesn't do anything for you, go to another. Also, if you have a nearby yarn store, someone there might be able to help you, or they may give classes. Anyway, once you decide that you ARE going to do it, don't let anything stand in your way.
I love your dream to put a pr of socks in everybody's Christmas stocking. Sure, if you 'only' get a pr done for yourself, you're a step on your way. And maybe you'll try it and not enjoy it - that's what trying is for. I enjoyed it so much I knit several pr every year for family and myself.
The sweater I'm doing is a baby sweater, a fairly simple pattern, and I've done it before. No, not for anyone I know. I belong to a stitching group that does a lot of chemo hats, blankets, shawls, hats, etc, etc. for charitable giving locally, and once a year we participate in a craft fair to earn some $$ to buy the yarn for the charitable work. So I'm working on stuff for next year's sale. My daughters all have things I've knitted and/or crocheted for them, and so do my grandchildren.
I'm glad you like my pics. DH and I travel a fair amount each year, now that we're both retired. And some of these pics date back several years, but I like to look at them again and relive the trips. : )

The only thing I really did in the laugh area was to institute a reward system. For every 5 lbs I lose, I get to buy an inexpensive comedy DVD. So far I have only a couple of them. They are John Candy movies. I have Wagon's East, where John is a Wagonmaster, leading a wagon train east rather than west, where everyone else is going. Quite funny. Then, I have a double feature of Uncle Buck and The Great Outdoors. Uncle Buck is a touching story about a guy who might be considered sort of a loser except he is smart and really cares. The other is an exciting romp with a bear. These John Candy movies are precious. Glad I have them. Thanks, Glenn 1638 days ago
