I love to knit, too, when the weather is miserable outside. I like to hear the click-click-click of my knitting needles against the sound of thunder.

Rainy days are the absolute best (yes, I'm willing to argue). When I'm not reading, which is typically how I spend these glorious days, I like to make scarves. I don't know what it is about the ran, but it really makes me miss knitting.
