Nuts For Knitting
Fri Dec 07 2007

To knit or not to knit.

That's no question.

I've been doing my best impression of a knitting machine this week. Have finished some things that I won't be sharing pictures of because they are birthday presents for certain people who might be reading this .... [you may or may not know who you are].

Anyhoo as a consequence, everything else I have done this week has been done in order to get to the knitting.

I, wash the dishes so I can go knit. I do the laundry so I can go knit, I run the sweeper so I can go knit. I walk the dogs so they will settle down so I can go knit. And &&&.....

Last night was our annual Knitting Guild dinner. We ate raviolis at a local restaurant and exchanged gifts. I was the lucky recipient of two knitting related books. One is a knitting murder mystery called 'A Deadly Yarn'. [Sounds farfetched]. :-) And 'At Knit's End' by Stephanie Perl-McFee, being a collection of amusing observations about knitting and knitters.

I suppose I will have to add these books to the pile of 'Things To Do So I Can Go Knit'.

I can see the blue sky heading this way as the gray clouds move off to the east this morning.
It rained all night, but it promises to be clear today. . . eventually.

I may not notice though, since I hope to be cozed up with my yarn and needles.

Right now I have to finish this entry, so I can go knit.

Done!

    This may go down as the longer labor in the history of womankind.

    I have the second book, it's a relatively quick read and fun. The first is supposed to be pretty good from what I understand. :o) But I'm seriously considering books on tape(cd) these days. No pages to turn and think of all the knitting I can get done that way!

    Your version of knitting is like my version of reading. I wake up. I read. I do something. I read. I do something else. I read. I read. I read. I read. I'm just a reading maniac

    Go knit to your hearts content

    Substitute a sewing maching for the knitting needles and we could be twins.

    I finished one quilt today and have to finish four more before Christmas.

    I am in need of extra hands or perhaps a few extra hours in a day.

    Ah, you sound like my mother with all the knitting. I suppose the weather is perfect for clicking those needles right now. ;-)
