Someone from our Snb group has a link on her site that has 100 things you should know about her. I am going to do a spin off on that at do 20 things I like about knitting... I always get asked "why do you knit" Well here are some of my answers
- It relaxes me
- How cool is it to know that you made something?
- There is really cool yarn out there now
- There is no limit on what you can make
- Turning the heel on a sock
- Do a shawl pattern that is based on pi...which leads me to...
- Knowing that Mrs. Loy's high school math class was actually good for something!
- Designing your own patterns
- If it looks like crap you can just rip it out and still have workable materials
- What would I blog about?
- When I give a hand knit gift to someone, my hands have touched every single inch of it
- With every stitch I am connecting with women and men of my ancestry
- Entertainment value and I have something to show for my money
- I like that I hate to purl and if I knit backwards I don't have to do it
- The friends I have made
- That eureka moment when you learn how to actually knit and it looks good
- That people will stop and admire what you are doing
- I have convinced my friends to let me knit when we go to a place like Denny's or 5 & Diner
- When I talk about my "stash" I know that I talking about yarn...most others don't ;)
- Knowing that some day I can pass on the craft to my future child!
