Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for suggesting knitting! That is something I’ve never really tried, but I think I will! And thinking of knitting reminded me of wire weaving, something I’m also interested in. So I think I’ll start knitting andwire weaving, and probably do somebasketweaving, too, since I always wanted to get back into that.
Thank you,
Jewel
