Over here in New Zealand, we are deep in our winter, and the kids are mid way through term 3 of the year. As I don’t love getting wet from the falling rain, and besides its warmer inside. I have given my self a personal challenge. Socks. Might seem mundane, but it is something I have never done before, Just the thought of those DPN’s sends (or used to) shivers down my spine. Not now I am loving knitting in the round and am on to my 4th pair of socks, I found a lovey lace pattern that I am going to try next for my daughter. One could say challenge accepted and completed. now what can I line up to do next…..

I can almost picture you in class raising your hand at all the teacher’s questions. Thanks for the great ideas. I am knitting and writing right now. It’s how I multitask!

I’m such a nerd – I always loved going back to school… but I never thought of challenging myself during the “back to school” season with my knitting. It would be the perfect time because the kids will be in school and I could actually concentrate without someone pulling on me or hollering my name a billion times in a row… oh wow – my nerd love for back to school is in high gear again – Thank you!!
