Life as a Knitter »
There are Real People on the Internet

My knitting blog and real life just collided at the yarn shop.
I was sporting the original Quinn bag, as usual, when I heard a voice from behind me in the checkout line.
“I recognize your bag! I made one!”
A Problem and a Solution

If you remember, I originally designed these booties to alleviate some work-related grumpiness. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence that I always choose to knit these booties when I’ve been having a rough time, or if I’ve somehow invented baby booties with sanity-restoring properties.
In which case, I should totally market them to harried mothers and become filthy rich in the process.
I am Starting to Understand Why People Stash Yarn

I literally have nothing on the needles right now. Ok, not quite literally, as I have about four rows of a tiny tube knit up after I got it into my head that I was going to design a sock. And then I quit. But beyond that, nothing. Not so much as a baby hat.
I have a couple of toys on hooks, one of which you saw here, but that’s it.
And it occurred to me the other day that I’m just uninspired. The projects out there are plenty inspiring. But the yarn I own…meh.
