Thanks for the comment on my blog - it's funny but I'm already dreading him growing up and leaving home and he's only 7 1/2 months. Empty nest syndrome coming early for me then!

I think all the old textile crafts should be re-popularised and knitting seems, if not the simplest, then the one with the simplest tools!
take care.
