What are you knitting/crocheting right now?

Catrin that sweater you made is beautiful. I'm glad you've found an activity that helps at least one ailment!

I still want to learn to crochet, but right now I have to focus on upping my game at work, learning new technical stuff. I don't know if I'd ever want to learn to knit and take on more complicated projects, but then again when I bought my mountain bike back in 1998 I thought I'd never want to do one of those crazy century rides, and five years later I there I was on a road bike doing the NYC Century. So never say never...

Hi NY Biker,

Yes, my husband and I moved south the end of 2013. Our kids (and grandchildren) live here in SC and we wanted to be closer to them. I still come back to the No VA area every 3 mos or so to take my mom to dr appts and visit with her. She wanted to stay in Ashburn since she has her routine there and all her friends. So I drive up (always bring a bike) and spend a half a week or so. This past Sept. a couple friends and I rode the GAP. It was such a wonderful ride. We carried our gear and stayed in B&Bs or motels along the way.
Have you gotten together with any of the other local VA/MD TE riders lately?

I wanted to learn to knit for years but it never worked until I HAD to! Crochet is fun, but my hands hate the different position so had to give it up in my 20s. Either is nice stress relief and you don't have to spend hours on them each day, even 20 mintues is enough.
