I knit and spin (with a spinning wheel, not an indoor bike-type thing) and make a few kinds of lace. Great hobby because it has astonishing depth, but you can also keep it as simple as you want. It can be cheap or expensive, although I suggest budgeting maybe $100 for startup so you can begin with a lesson or two at a local yarn store and good wool. If you have kids you can make stuff for them and knitting is a nice portable craft to take along and keep you busy during stuff like soccer games or playground time. Check out Ravelry.com if you want to see the possibilities; my username is titianknitter if anyone wants to look me up over there. Lately I'm into buying raw wool straight off the sheep and processing it all the way to finished garments.
Fun fact: Knitting and weaving were traditionally male occupations. Women spun. If I had time for another hobby I'd restore vintage bikes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
