Join the German-American friendship club and see if any of the ladies in the
club knit. I'd use their advice if I could. Coming back to the states
makes it harder to find the friend you'll need.

I am only doing it for myself because some of the patterns are really
cool. Yes I know about the unwanted suprises. I am taking a basic
German class right now. I love Germany. I am thinking about extending
my tour here for another 3 years.
