Dear Ellen,
I had to share this photo of one of my friends…and students! I taught her to knit a few years ago and she has progressed to “obsession” stage. Dale ran into her at the commissary yesterday and she proudly modeled some of her recent work. It makes me smile to see that smile on her face! Her husband may not have been so pleased with the chance meeting as she started comparing notes with Dale regarding the various knitter’s tools and gadgets that I own versus her own collection. Would you be surprised to know that I have many things that she has yet to acquire? I was actually impressed with Dale’s level of awareness in things knitterly. That made me smile too!
Love, Jan
Jan and Ellen are identical twins who have always had an innate fashion sense. Crafting is an integral part of their lives and they stay stitched together sharing their love of knitting, family and community.

Isn’t it funny how our partners start to pick up information about our obsessions? I wonder how much I know about mountain bikes… That’s a great picture — nice work bringing another one into the fold!

I love it - you know they are hooked when they don’t stop at the scarf, they make the matching hat.

Always nice to initiate (infect?) a new member! Her husband will learn to go with the flow. Does Dale get extra points for enabling?
