I learned to knit and crochet in my early teens. Grandma and books. I didn't learn a new way of doing a cast on for over 30 years. TH-cam has been a godsend to me for learning things. Today I learned a celtic crochet stitch.I love to learn new things because the day you stop learning is the day you die.

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

Granny Squared So true. One of the things I love about knitting and crafting is there is always something new to learn. When people ask me how I get my knitting mojo back, my answer is learn a new technique.

Yay Sondheim. What’s amazing is that I was thinking of him just as you said that. I had been humming a Rodgers and Hammerstein song to myself. I began thinking about the words, the man who wrote them and what a kind and generous man he was. Then I thought about his mentorship of the young Stephen and how he influenced him. Then you made that statement.

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

Oh wow. Synchronicity of the Universe is powerful. I can’t decide which is my favorite Sondheim: A Little Night Music or Into the Woods.
