NEWS FLASH: Blog succeeding at job for which it was intended

I read an article about Jane Fonda today, very insprational

I am extremely excited to have finished a second of the projects that I have had sitting in the cupboard for months.  I've wanted to make some leg warmers for literally years, but have been more than a little impeded by not knowing how to knit.  I tried and failed to learn, and also found a pair of (discounted) ethically made leg warmers for 5 pounds from People Tree , so gave up.

The leg warmers I made for last winter

The work in progress

When I learnt to knit from the both much-loved and highly understandable Stitch and Bitch it said that knitters hate the sewing the pieces together bit at the end.  My first thought was that I love sewing so that won't be me at all.  But lo and behold the first garment that involved sewing seams sat in my cupboard for 6 months before I dragged them out again last night.
