I picked it up in my twenties.  Put it down for many, many years and in the last eight or so I have been never without a project on the needles.  I am so blessed my boys prefer their mama-made goods.  I am so blessed to have learned this from my mother and youtube.  And I was gifted my grandmothers folder of patterns.  None of which I will make but you know what, its just nice to have the history of my knitting talent. 

I was looking for a pattern last night and came across this beauty.  ... oh the sweater it could make ...
