It is wonderful to actually get some "free" time. Sometimes it is scheduled free time and sometimes it just happens. What we do with said free time also varies -- sometimes it is to catch up on the various things that have been neglected because of time constraints. Sometimes it is to try and learn something new.
I have been trying to do a little of both with the "winter weather," stay inside, warm and safe, days lately. I have finished a few projects and have been trying to learn a few new techniques with both my knitting and my quilting. All of which got me to remembering trying to learn new knitting with Dad sitting in his chair "watching TV." You guessed it! This did not work!! Dad would wait until I was counting stitches, or lines on the graph, then he would add numbers in. Or he would wait until I was in the middle of something and ask me a question or if I would go get something. Either would break the concentration meaning I would need to start over. I did quickly learn something -- wait until Dad was ANY where else before I started something new!! Like I have said.... you either start laughing or screaming. I prefer laughing!
