Knitting, bowling, and the studio in action

Here's what my studio looked like while my friend and I were working. My C brought us some refreshments to keep us going (ha ha ha like it was so arduous!) Just visible to the right is my copy of Good Mail Day book, which I am enjoying so much. Inspiration on a daily basis.

The day after T-day, I went bowling with mi hija and a couple of friends, oops, did I mention this already? I'm having deja ecrit as I write this. Anyway, here's a picture of the lanes and a picture of a bowling ball with a cute face. I did pretty good for not doing this sport for many, many years.

Today, after my Spanish class, I stopped in at The Yarn Lounge to get my one-on-one start up lesson for making socks. I'll be attending a class next week but have to miss this week's first class. This is going to be fun. I have been wanting to learn how to knit socks, planning to do it this past summer, but it never happened. So now...here's the beginning. I'm using o-wool in a color that I love to use for accent with all my black clothing. More on the development of my socks soon as I learn how to make a heel!

How did I get into this?

I was asked when I started doing Mailart. Good question. Like many artists, I was making and mailing art without even knowing it had a name ...
