It's not my skill level." But then again, I just started to knit. My friend is teaching me, she's a huge arts and crafts kind of girl. I was watching her knit one day because I was curious how it was done and she put down her needles, grabbed me some and just taught me how. She said, you're not going to learn by just watching, you need to do it. Which was true. I'm working on a small project right now, and hopefully soon I can get to try to knit a scarf! I love scarves!graphic designerhttp://lmjdesignco.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28634971.post-6292021841361054352009-09-14T07:29:54.799-07:002009-09-14T07:29:54.799-07:00The moment I met you, you were charming and adorab...The moment I met you, you were charming and adorable and fun and I wanted to be your friend. So there. We're equivalent geeks. <br /><br />I'm so very glad you pulled on your pony pants and made that first offer to help. Not only did you prevent a homicide [:-)] but you became a good friend in a very short time. Dammit.<br /><br />xoxoAmy R Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18101011946757726326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28634971.post-14920453760570858402009-09-14T05:18:11.897-07:002009-09-14T05:18:11.897-07:00I think I said this back when that picture of you ...I think I said this back when that picture of you with Amy was first taken, but it bears repeating - that is like, my favorite photo of you ever!

I always liked that idea very much (great to soothe a bad conscience...)<br />But in fact, knitting is expensive (even when one buys only as little as I do), and having such a lot of beautiful patterns / designs at hand was (still is, of course) sheer luxury, especially when I newly discovered knitting and the internet in terms of knitting. Browsing Knitty was simply stunning.Evahttp://liesestrickt.blogger.de/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28634971.post-63504951073606026102009-09-12T16:32:04.778-07:002009-09-12T16:32:04.778-07:00Funny, I was contemplating Knitty as well, probabl...Funny, I was contemplating Knitty as well, probably because of the new design. I remember finding it on the internet and linking to all sorts of blogs and eventually coming out to my first knitting event. It was a lonely time in my life and I made new friends - an awesome event for me! Through knitting.<br />It really is so much more than just a magazine, isn't it?Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896320973231411521noreply@blogger.com
