You and Mare are much more adept. I think I must have a prejudice against noisy tools. Prefer hand drills, hand-sewing....

Knitting was one of my more advanced bits - and eventually quilts of course -- but I was a terrible tatter!

I'm going to start with darning my cashmere socks, then resume/take up knitting. I wonder if I have any muscle memory for tatting lace? Remember she taught us to do that, too? @Andrea, I agree…

As you know, Maks has gotten good at this, plus crocheting, and I see him use it as a soothing activity too. With grandma's looks, it seems to me all the more something you should do. I found it took my about 20 rows or so to feel back in the groove of basic knitting. Sorry you have to deal with the preparing the nest to leave it... Knitting is a great rhythm.
