"Knitting is Magic. Knitting is an act of creation and a simple transformation each and every time. Each knitted gift hold hours of my life. I know it just looks like a hat, but really, it's four hours at the hospital, six hours on the bus, two hours alone at four in the morning when I couldn't sleep beacause I tend to worry. It is all those hours when I chose to spend time warming another person. Knitting is love, looped and warm."
-Stephanie Pearl McPhee, The Yarn Harlot, From the book Yarn Harlot
Here is where I will show you my works in progress and Finshed knitting, and the patterns I am contemplating. I will also rant about yarn stash, Knitting senseis, and knitting experiances, and try to help you all understand crazy knitters. The exits can be found in with the back button, the navigation at the top of the page, and the most extreme being the Close X. Thank You for flying Insane Knitter's Airlines.
Okay so to start, Currently I am knitting A lace scarf in Jagger Spun (brand) Silk/Wool (fifty percent each) mix, in the color Aegean blue. Its really pretty yarn, its so soft and airy. I can't wait until I can wear this scarf, and I will probably make more versions of it to give away. Its a real simple lace pattern that is easy to follow. I recomend it for anyone trying their first lace.
It will look better when it is blocked, which means I am going to soak it in water, pin it to a carpet, and let it dry in the shape I please. Its ultimate power.
One day, I plan on knitting a scarf and Intarsiaing (that is when you use two different colored yarns to create a design) An elvish symbol in it. Any suggestions for one?
