Can I be creative?

I secretly long to be able to tear it up on the dance floor, and would LOVE if someone would pick me for something like Dancing With the Stars (even though I don't have cable and have never actually seen the show).  However, unless there are adult beverages served, I just don't see myself getting up on a table and putting on a show for our final presentations.   

Keeping this in mind,  I'm going to pick up something I tried to do rather unsuccessfully years ago:  knitting.   Back in 2005 I thought knitting seemed so cool -- you could take it anywhere, pick out fun yarn, and make gifts for people.  All the celebrities were knitting!  My husband presented me with knitting needles, two skeins of yarn, and a book on how to knit for Christmas and I spent the next few days cursing his name in intense frustration as I created a nasty mess of knots.   Desperate to master my new craft and make a really cute scarf I signed up for a class at the Georgia Center.  I stunk and lost interest and my knitting needles have been tucked away out of sight -- a shameful reminder of my inadequate craftiness -- for years!   

I'm enlisting the help of a friend, a master knitter (she made BOTH her kids hats in a few mere hours!  Gasp!) , to get me back on track.  My goal is to make something, even if it's just a pot holder, I'm proud of.
