Well, here I am again for my second blog post EVER!! Can you believe that I actually came back to blog more. I definitely love this concept because I love talking out loud (sort of) to the computer and it's a stream of consciousness that just feels so me.
The sign above is DEFINITELY for me. I have so much stash yarn it's embarrassing and I don't know what to do about it. I am seriously running out of spots to store it. I am on the net and I get these emails from fabulous dyers who have the most beautiful colors and yarns that I just can't resist and before you know it, I'm clicking and buying. Then the yarn comes and it's gorgeous but I say now what??? I swear people I will NOT live long enough to use all this yarn especially since I am not the most prolific knitter. This is a little romper I made for my new grandson. I haven't seen him in it yet but perhaps it's too big for him. Not sure.

So as you can see, I do knit and now I make things for the grand kids and I'm also learning lace knitting which is completely new to me. I'm not sure how I will do on that since it seems like you must really concentrate, not good for me.
Now you can see why I call myself PamKnitsToo - I do knit but I guess yoga and yarn collecting is more my thing. This is, of course, since I've retired and have time for these activities. I actually started working when I was 14 years old in a local 5 & 10 store behind that lunch counter. That was interesting to say the least. I didn't last very long because one day I made someone an ice cream sundae and the chocolate jimmies had ants in them. That did it for me, end of my restaurant career.
Then I moved on to the cleaners, where I worked behind the counter taking people's slips and finding their clothes for them on that rack. Exciting business!! I did this after school and on Saturday's. It was fun actually because I had the pleasure of working with an elderly Jewish woman who was very caring and helpful. She taught me a lot about life and stuff. Her husband would come in everyday to pick her up when we were done and he was the nicest man. So that helped me cope with an alcoholic mother at home and an absent Dad.
More about that to come. For now it's time to move on to other things, perhaps some knitting. Hope you enjoy my blog and my photos. Till next time - blessings to all.
