Knit Off 2007
As the mother of two sons I've been known from time to time -- actually, on a regular basis -- to inform my competitive boys that "life is not a race". Although I firmly believe in this mantra, there are times when you've got to put your hair up, push day-to-day life aside, and race like hell for the finish line.
