About Me

My Photo
Doctor KnitterAt age 40 I "opted out" and took up knitting to fill the hours waiting for my children at their myriad activities. The busying of my hands allows my mind to wander freely - a pleasant and unanticipated paradox well known to knitters but previously unexplored in my life. This deeply physical habit/addiction enables me to attend to my children (unlike reading a book), talk with other parents (or pretend to ignore them when desirable), and regain the importance of a tactile daily experience...lost once my babies preferred running to sitting on my lap. This blog is designed to share, not only knitting patterns/ideas, but share the experience of bringing back grace and integrity to the modern raising of children in an urban environment.
