you cannot bow down to me. you're fall too accomplished, you're like a knitting guru. but thank you very much!

No way! I may have started knitting before you did, but you've done so much more than I have. Talk about knitting fearlessly!

So I'm not fearless, that's for sure, but my need to learn is more powerful than that fear. And I'm finding that things always seem harder than they actually are. And also there are a wealth of resources and helpful people if I do run in to something difficult.

Also my grandma was a talented seamstress, I thought her crafty gene had bypassed me altogether, but maybe not, maybe it's caught up to me, maybe there's something in my genes.
