Long Time No Sew
I hadn't touched any of my string working projects since the cat-pee-yarn incident. This week I've been getting back into the cross stitch. While watching shows with my Mom and middle nephew on Sunday, I brought out my cross stitch to work on. That prompted Little Bit to go, Oh Yeah, and go over and grab his cloth knitting box which houses his yarn and knitting needles.
Sure enough, it's been so long since he looked at it he has forgotten the basics (which was all we were working on at the time). So I grabbed a couple needles and started short-tail casting on, only to find that my hands have also seemed to forgotten. I flubbed a little ways through and managed to cast on, but then when going for the first row of knitting, again my hands were failing me, and it felt like the cast on row was too tight and/or wrong. Considering I didn't feel like I was doing it 100% correctly, I wasn't surprised.
I had to tell him that I promise to reteach him next weekend, but for right now he was just going to have to watch the show without having something in his hands. That means getting my knitting back out and reteaching myself as well.
