Welcome to My Obsession

I'd rather be knitting than doing whatever I'm doing (unless I am, in fact, knitting). I started knitting in the summer of 2004. My mom's childhood friend, Patty, was visiting her from Nashville. Patty started a knit shop and was willing to teach my sister Liz and I how to knit. We spent the afternoon learing how to knit and purl, and, though I didn't realize it then, I was hooked.

For the next month or so. I practiced knitting on the same skein of Rowan All-Seasons Cotton, ripping out and starting over ad nauseum. From there I knitted a scarf with Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk, and then socks, a sweater, and so on. I knit every day, and by the end of the work day my fingers are itching for the needles.

A knitter friend of mine said " The knitting needle is more addictive than the heroin needle" and it's true!

On this blog I'll share photos of my knitting projects, and tidbits about knitting and maybe some other topics, just maybe.
