My friend and I had a delightful afternoon, lunching at Java Johnny's and then visiting the knitting fair at a nearby church. She's an experienced knitter who visited the "Help with Problems" table after parking me at the "Learn to Knit" table. I used to know how to knit, but had forgotten a lot. My teacher was a longtime friend of my dear late mother-in-law. I saw many older women with whom I've lost contact during my 11+ years of working out of town.
