(Actually, I know _how_ to knit, but nerve problems prevent me from knitting for more than 15 minutes or so - my fingers go numb!) I don't try to explain the difference - I just give them a good "catch-all" word, like "stitching", or "needlework".

Too small for her! My SIL and nieces barely passed home ec in school, so no one in the family stitches now, but me.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968531508224415029noreply@blogger.com
