I usually spend it in silence, knitting, with out interuptions from my family. So, this is usually done between 9-5 which is when I typically work so I can finish in time to keep the family routine regular. It is wonderful for me and for my knitting.<br /><br />RavID: RainMommaMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959070768311803349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97114650751824054.post-45053162403139399622012-04-23T11:50:26.531-07:002012-04-23T11:50:26.531-07:00I don't get much knitting time, but what I do ...I don't get much knitting time, but what I do get is limited even more by the fact that I can't do it for very long.

I tried to learn continental knitting but I just couldn't get my hands work right. Finally, I taught myself lever knitting. It has helped me so much. It seems like I can knit forever and my hands never get tired! And now I can knit two ways so switching back and forth will reduce my risk of injury from repetitive movement. I'd love the chance to try your needles! They just look amazing! <br /><br />(jekkalynn on ravelry)sadiesmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02676857945900085692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97114650751824054.post-80759689012935111102012-04-21T17:19:49.740-07:002012-04-21T17:19:49.740-07:00I would love to try these needles.
