And other things.
I am often asked on the bus if it is hard to learn to knit. I have to answer that I honestly don't know. I learned to knit while I was a child. And to crochet and to make pie.
(This pie was made with half oat flour and half wheat. It turned out very well.)
Thinking a lot today about when and how we learn skills.
Spinning is a new skill for me (about one year). Spent an hour or so practicing plying this morning. Oh what fun!
Practice, practice is an important part of it all.
That, and a willingness to play.
That's what I was doing with the geranium leaves when I realized they made a rather nice flower.
P.S. The photo of Briar and I is ten years old now. It was taken right after her first bath.
P.P.S I think the secret to good pie crust is to use just enough water to hold the crust together, that the water should be cold (and the butter if that is what you are using for a fat), and to not overwork the dough. I specialize in rustic looking pies rather than re-roll.
