Return to Knitsville

On a Saturday in early August, Ken and I wandered into the Starbucks that's a stone's throw from our gym for our post-workout ritual tazo chai latte (me) and Java Chip Frappucino (Ken). There on the big, comfy sofa were two women companionably knitting away.
It was a Eureka! moment. Suddenly I knew what I desperately needed and wanted. After a 25-year hiatus, I needed to knit! Within a few days, I was on my way to The Snow Goose in East Milton, Massachusetts, to find a project. I settled on a sweater featured in Sally Melville's The Knitting Experience: Book 2--The Purl Stitch. Called "To-the-Cottage Pullover," I selected a Reynolds Lopi slate-gray yarn and I was off and knitting.
