I love the idea of a humility block. Now, not only will I think of mistakes as adding character but I'll see it as a way to not anger the gods. I love that. As for the mystery/knitting thing, oh well it just wasn't meant to be. That's all right I think you'll find many of my future characters will happen to be knitters. I'll just find many sly ways of slipping it in unobtrusively. Terri,

As for mistakes, lots of cultures have a thing about perfection. As mere humans, we're not going to achieve it. And to try is not cool. Some quilters used to include a humility block in their quilts - one put together wrong on purpose so as not to anger the gods. I've heard the same about Navajos, and others. We like to say mistakes add character. Too bad the knitting mystery thing has already been done, because you could be writing a good one. Such a cute sweater.

Quite frankly I didn't think I'd be able to knit at all when I started classes in October. I credit a great group of woman at my local yarn store for teaching me to knit. They are very patient and supportive: http://www.appleyarns.com . Elle, thanks for your kind words. Quite frankly I didn’t think I’d be able to knit at all when I started classes in October.
