I had to teach myself to knit, sew, cook etc because my mother was always too busy cleaning stuff that was already clean - paranoid obsessive that she is.

I've taught my daughter all that stuff though - she makes great cakes, and knits beautifully. Been teaching another friend to knit too, who in turn has said that a teenage friend of hers wants to learn too, so I'll be teaching her soon too.

Its fun sitting in the living room knitting with a couple of friends having a good old cackle about stuff. Some of our conversations get quite smutty :D

pity, really
i don't have much in common with girl friends, what with them being into chick flicks and babies. i prefer horror and i'm as maternal as a housebrick. wouldn't mind a few evenings of knitting and gossip, but they're all too knackered or can't get babysitters :(

Get the kettle on then, I'll be over with the knitting later, for a good stitch and bitch.
