10 Knitterly Things You Don't Know About Me
Yanked from Grumperina. Hey, it seemed like a good idea at the time.1. I buy a lot of knitting books that I never read. I returned a Christmas present I didn't want two Decembers ago and got an Interweave and Knitting in Plain English. I have never actually opened it.
2. I never wear half of what I knit for myself. Menja, which I started working on in 2004 was never actualy finished, mainly due to dealing with my terminal gauge issues. Scarlette hasn't seen the light of day in a year or two. I guess I'm a process knitter.
3. My stash lives in 2.5 bins that fit under my bed.
4. I haven't spun any of the roving I bought at Rhinebeck. Or the roving K8 dyed for me more than a year ago.
5. I used to get my knitting needles from a loom shop in Oberlin, Ohio. I have a size 17 29" circular needle that I paid $3 for.
6. I have knit a sweater and a shawl for my mother entirely out of Lionbrand homespun.
7. I knit many garments, including my second, neon orange sweater without even knowing what gauge was.
8. I haven't given my former boss her Christmas 2005 present yet, even though all I have to do is weave in the ends.
9. I have been sewing, even though I don't own a sewing machine - have made two skirts and a dress and cut a third. (OK, this isn't knitting, but it's clothes crafting)
10. I haven't bought yarn since May at MD Sheep & Wool.
And just for fun, #11.
11. My last finished object was the boobholder. The last one before that was a knit woolly mammoth (which I think I still have pictures of) that I made for a fundraiser in April.
