Introducing Shorty!!!

Since this is my first blog I thought I should use it to introduce myself.

My name is Sonya. I'm thirty something, divorced woman with no children. I live in Detroit, MI, and only recently re-entered the world of knitting.

A very sweet neighbor taught my sister and I to knit almost thirty years ago. And since then I have tried my hand at many other crafts. My most recent obsession,before knitting, was quilting. My dad's golf buddy introduced me and my mom to his wife, who is a quilter. She graciously taught my mom and I to quilt. For about two years we met every week and shared stories, ideas, and projects (new and future). After my parents moved to Arizona, and my friends health started to fail, I started looking for a new hobby. One day I decided to take my friend to the theatre to see "The Three Mo' Tenors", and downstairs from the theatre was a fantastic yarn shop. From the moment I walked in the door and touched the yarn, I was hooked. That was only about two months ago, but my stash is already overflowing several bins in my spare room.

About the same time, I upgraded my iPod from a Nano to a Video iPod. When I did, a friend and I started talking about podcasts. After a quick search I found several on knitting, and again I was hooked. Thanks to Dr. Emmie and several other podcasts I found my way to blogger.com. And now here I am posting to my very own blog.

I can't wait to see what will happen next.
