You are a very caring cousin.<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment about my high level vocabulary! Also you always make me proud also when I see you. For example, I always see you belly dancing and boy can you belly dance! Kaweh always plays pretty music and then we all get up and try to belly dance, but no, we can probably never be as amazing as you are.

A person could really learn how to knit from your clear directions.<br /> I have tried to knit many times. However, somehow when I start to make a scarf, it always comes out like a blanket. I am a terrible knitter and I decided it's not my <br />hobby. My aunt is a wonderful knitter and can talk and knit at the same time! I think that is amazing!<br /> Instead I like to read to calm down. My dad used to say that a house could fall down around me when I was reading and I would never notice!

You did a great job with your wording, your step by step explanations and your decision on what exactly I was to take a picture of. <br /><br />One funny memory comes to my mind about that specific day when I was taking the pictures. Every time I took one, somehow your big toe kept on procuring. It was so hilarious because I continuously instructed you to tuck in your toes and somehow or another that BIG toe showed up again and again in the images. It was hilarious. Even now, while I'm writing this, I have a big grin on my face.<br /><br />You know what I most love about your enjoyment of knitting? In an age of such technological advancements, fast paced lives, internet, texting, emailing, etc., you have somehow found your passion for this beautiful hobby. <br /><br />As you correctly stated, it does in fact teach patience. The way we live nowadays, everything is at our disposal, right here and NOW. With knitting, you have to sit down, quiet yourself down, take your time, think, concentrate, and work towards completing your project. It is my hope that you will always continue this passion of yours. <br /><br />As I can see, you have encouraged and motivated quite a few of your blogging buddies to either get back to knitting or start to learn this craft. <br /><br />Perhaps one day, as you improve, you might even choose to make beautiful pieces and give them as gifts or to charity. Grandma G's grandma chose to knit sweaters and blankets for the Pueblo Indian babies. How incredibly beautiful and inspiring is that? <br /><br />I also would like to thank your teacher, Mrs. Yollis, for her assistance and valuable advice throughout the process of getting this post published. <br /><br />To answer your question about what calms me down and relaxes me, I would have to say, reading, writing, and walking through our beautiful neighborhood on a sunny day with friends. <br /><br />I love you more than words could ever express.<br /><br />Be blessed my beautiful daughter. <br />Your soon-to-learn knitting MAMAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-47462275214060480882011-01-18T20:17:51.257-08:002011-01-18T20:17:51.257-08:00Adia,

I have never tried knitting but my sister knits a lot. She has given me some <b>great</b> winter hats over the years.<br /><br />We have an after school knitting club at school, and some of my students from last year are really enjoying it.<br /><br />One hobby that teaches me patience and calms me down is painting watercolors. If you want a clean line you have to be patient and let the colors dry or they will all blend into each other.<br /><br />Body-surfing also teaches me patience because you have to wait for the right wave. It relaxes me because swimming is very soothing.<br /><br />Keep up the great blogging!<br /><br />From your friend,<br />Mr. SalsichMr. Salsichhttp://jmsalsich.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-69096349737026810342011-01-18T03:29:51.454-08:002011-01-18T03:29:51.454-08:00Dear Adia,

Congratulations on being the winner of the family Blogging Month~60 comments from you and your family is a excellent accomplishment. <br /><br />I tried to knit when I was younger, but it didn't turn out so well. I always made my stiches too tight and my project never turned out right. I think I will try again this year though. This time I will use your instuctions and I bet I will have better luck.<br /><br />The thing that I practice that clams me down is yoga. I love the way the breathing makes me feel and that for one hour I get to free my mind and think of nothing other than my poses.

Thank you for your compliments....Dear Mrs. Y♥llis,<br /><br />Thank you for your compliments. You are always supporting everyone!<br /><br />I think it is phenomenal that you are a knitter yourself. <br /><br />What was <i>your</i> most difficult project you've ever completed? <br /><br />How long did it take you to make it?<br /><br />Who taught you how to knit and how old were you when you learned this hobby?<br /><br />To answer your questions: I take after school enrichment classes and one of the classes that is available is knitting. My knitting teacher, Mrs. Alla, has taught me how to do this wonderful hobby. <br /><br />The <i>most</i> difficult project I have completed is my purse because first, I had to do the knitting and it was a little hard to change the colors of the yarn. Next, I had to take the yarn off with the pearl stitch and create the other side. After that, I had to knit the strap with a maximization of four stitches. <br /><br />Finally, I had to sew everything together and get a button for the middle. This took me approximately one month and three weeks. It was <i>very</i> difficult!<br /><br />Thank you for your invaluable assistance throughout this project.<br /><br />Your student,<br />Ad♦aAdiahttp://adiasbabbleblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
