I have spent some time trying to improve my guitar playing and that has been great! I teach beginner guitar classes and my skill level has always allowed me to remain a step ahead. My goal is to always encourage my students to surpass my own level though. I have recently realized that my daughter's love of music might mean I will need to be there to accompany her sometimes without notice, so my goal now becomes getting good enough to do that for her! I am loving the process.
I've also pick up the UFO's (un-finished projects) in my knitting stash and I am finding the challenge of knitting so wonderfully rewarding and relaxing. I love the feel of the wool in my fingers and I love that I can create something useful in the process. At that, I am a process knitter! I love the journey of knitting. I hope that the finished projects are wearable, but for me the real pleasure comes through the act of knitting. I do miss my knitting friends at Woolworks and with the move to Sutton, I fear my chances of staying in touch are even smaller. It's hard to think of getting out there on Thursday nights (& that's provided there are no so soccer games on Thursdays), staying a few hours and then driving 1/2 hour home with a 5am wake up call the next day. I really miss them so much though so I think I'll have to bite the bullet!
