Relaxation in front of the TV . . .

I did a little knitting while at school in the 1900's  :) but I am going to start it up again.  My mother-in-law and sister-in-law is going to guide me and teach me the basics again (I have heard that it is NOT like riding a bike!).  My friends are already warning me of lost stitches and wholes . . .

I am not sure that this ever become something I will actually ware . . . this is going to be all about the relaxation that I can gain from it.  I need some hobbies that will calm me.  The medicine I am taking, is making me like a "jack-in-the-box".  I can just imagine that this is what heavy drug users must feel like.  I want to talk ALL THE TIME!

What I am hoping for is that it going to allow me to have a few relaxing hours in front of the TV.  My sister-in-law assures me this is an easy pattern for a beginner and here is a picture . . .

I have chosen this purple-y colour below but I am debating if I should not return it for the blue of the photo above . . .
