64. Welp, time to learn knitting

I actually have been thinking about it for a while because if you knit wool caps I can felt them and make cool Scottish Balmorals and other types of caps to go with my kilt and whatnot. My wife wants to do crochet too so it looks like Ravelry is the place to be.

edit: Registration is temporarily closed for a few days. It's OK. Probably having to deal with assholes. I can wait.
