My life is defined by music and needle arts. I am a classically-trained pianist, having studied from the age of 3. In college, I made a decision not to pursue a concert career, fearing the family tendency to arthritis. (Professionally, I am a retired RN.) I do continue to perform on occasion, both as a soloist and as an accompanist for an operatic tenor.
My Great-grandmother, Delilah Springsteen (born 1868) taught me to knit. (She learned to knit socks for the Spanish American War!) Her method was Eastern Crossed, I now know. When I became interested in lace knitting I stumbled into transforming my knitting to Western, and never looked back.
I love to knit shawls and socks. Until this year, I was “excessively fluffy”, so these two items were really about all that fit me. Now, after a 115-lb. weight loss, and still in progress, I’m knitting a sweater and a vest for me. Yipee! Of course, the shawls and socks continue on the needles, too.Interests

The good news is that he isn't destructive, he just "donates" white fur to everything! Glad you like the shawl. read more
