Let’s use it!

Dear Anne I’ve just come back to knitting after a long gap, so I dug out my old Knitmaster 700 and you’ve one more regular reader! I live on my own and as my husband died a while ago now, I need something to do. You can’t beat a knitting pattern for getting the old grey cells working. Shaping necks and armholes and crossing cables can really be a challenge when there are so many other things going on at once. We’re often told: “Use it or lose it” and what can be better for our brains than following a knitting pattern? What can be better to keep our bodies moving than actually machine knitting a garment? What can be better for our hands and finger joints than putting it all together? I’m just waking up to the fact that there’s more to life than daytime telly! I urge all other readers to keep at it, to keep going. Kind regards, Isabella
