I knit. I am generally crafty, but mostly I knit. My mom taught me how to knit when I was nine, after I finally pestered her enough about it that she couldn’t take it anymore. That was nearly thirty years ago. Now, instead of me asking her each time I start a new pattern, “How do you cast on again?” she calls me to ask the best way to add a new ball of yarn in the middle of a lace pattern.
Okay, okay, I still ask her for help, too, but I do remember how to cast on . . . most of the time.
Lately I don’t feel like I’m knitting very much. I am bored. I am uninspired, even with all of the wonderful patterns and yarns and books out there. Hopefully this ‘blog will help with that.
If I veer off into crochet, or shuttle tatting, or lampworking, don’t worry. I’ll always come back to knitting.
I suppose I should put this in here, too. On Ravelry, and elsewhere as well, I’m also known as “sosoclever.” To the best of my knowledge, I am the only sosoclever out there (as of March 2, 2009, I won’t be surprised if tomorrow I go to look and find fifty more).
