It's been quite the year for me on many fronts, but it's been eventful in terms of knitting, too. I was inspired to pick up the needles again about year and a half ago by the guy I was dating at the time. (I told him if he picked out the yarn I'd knit him a pair of socks.) What had been a pleasant hobby in college quickly grew into a consuming passion--especially when I got onto Ravelry.
Now, I'm living in a new place, pursuing a different career, dating a different fellow, and have actually published knitting patterns that people want to knit. Seems kind of crazy, but there you have it.
I have lots of thoughts on how knitting builds community and can make life more fulfilling and blah blah blah, but you know what? In lieu of a boring meta-post, I'm going to go knit.
Merry Christmas.

Haha!
"Do you more fully understand my powers now, Eugene?"
Also, I meant to email you about something. You need to knit A. a new hat. The big fatty has outgrown his old umbilical one, which makes me sad because it was so cute.
Now he has some lame hate that has a pooch at the top, and I have to refrain from calling him "condom head" every time I see it. This description, while accurate, is not the sort of phrase to teach a 18 month old.
We need a new hat, statim, before I get myself into trouble!
Love,
Jane
I want to hear about how knitting builds community! Buuut that's just me ;-)
