A Wise Warning

Sometimes, it is nice to learn a lesson through the trials and experiences of others.When it comes to learning a new skill, I am generally one who learns by doing. I like a bit of explanation, a bit of guidance, and your distant presence should I have a question.

In the case of learning from a mistake, I am quite comfortable with a passive role. Someone else can make the mistake and report back to me. Amy shared her story with us so that we might learn from her error.

Did I listen? No. I have cleaned and cleared such that my latest copy of Vogue Knitting has disappeared. I cannot imagine that it was tossed into the trash. Other than Joe, no one else in the house has the manual dexerity or the mind power to gather strewn items and tidy or trash them. My entire life depends on knowing the yarn requirements for the adorable Aurora Melange/Aurora 8 vest. This is serious business.
