So it began...

     I had hurt my back some time ago and was using a little time off to get to heal. It got boring quick! Lots of physical therapy, among other things, but other than that, not a whole lot to do with my time. One day, my Wife decided she wanted to go to a local craft store and browse. I thought to myself <sarcasm> yeah! </ end sarcasm>

     Browsing around the store, hoping for a large piece of the ceiling to fall on my head, I got to the book section. I then noticed a book that had to do with different sorts of men's clothing that were hand knit. I picked it up, decided tyhat it was pretty interesting, and started browsing on my phone for different male knitting sources.

     I was very surprised! There was even a YouTube video about it! I decided to give it a try, what could it hurt? I love other hobbies, but they are just too expensive to do while recovering from a back injury. I started learning to knit, first from a book, and then from a local yarn store. The first project was then aptly named...The Picaso...!



     What a masterpiece...but I loved making it! I had ripped it out a few times and started over, but, I later decided that I would never get the feeling of knitting unless I simply worked through it. I was right, and have been knitting since!
