Knitting is really a wonderful form of procrastination. I suppose that’s why I do it so much. It initially started as a way to keep my hands busy while watching TV. But it’s also a wonderful way to avoid more pressing matters, like studying, cleaning the bathroom, or nanowrimo, while still fooling myself into thinking I’m being productive. I mean, I could just play Chuzzle for an hour or two, but what would I have to show for it besides a few new Lost character names on the hall of fame? (Don’t ask). Whereas if I knit, I at least have some new gloves, socks, or a hat to show for it, right?

I did not scan the actual patterns for these, and have concluded that in the interests of public service, I never will.

OK, so I had an old blog over at blogger but I decided to move it over here since I have my YA lit blog (and someday sci-fi blog) at wordpress. So here I will write down my observations and ruminations on the fine art of knitting. And sometimes I might post pictures. So if you’re not a knitter or one of my friends (or even if you are) this will probably be boring as hale but otherwise, um, enjoy. I guess.
