About Me!My name is Trish, and I love knitting! No, I’m not particularly good at it, but not being particularly good at something has never stopped me before, so why not? My father’s mother taught me to crochet when I was probably about 6 years old. I made the world’s longest chain stitch snake, until I got bored with that, then made tons of uneven doll blankets after that. (I was even creative enough to realize they were uneven, so I started making “triangle doll blankets” on purpose. Yeah, right.) Within a few years I was making real projects and enjoying myself immensely, and fast forward to about five years ago when my carpal tunnel and arthritis suddenly made it impossible to crochet anymore.

A Journey to Motherhood I wrote an article for now-defunct Horizons Newspaper, in Maryland, shortly after the birth of my daughter. Over the next several years the article was republished in excerpts or in updated forms. A couple of existing versions are linked from this page. What I Am Thankful For This is my blog post from Thanksgiving Day, 2008. I often struggle to remember the simpler things. Perhaps I need to read my own words more often. The Christmas Spirit I wrote this little story of Christmas in 1979, when I was just 14 years old. I remember…

This is Edith. She was sitting in the section across from me and I noticed the stunning shawl she was working on. She said it was in Vogue about 10 years ago.
