Sometimes animated graphics are fun.
I’m knitting something (shh! It’s Christmas) with tiny little needles and the luxury Rowan Wool Cotton. It’s a little intarsia project and I just have to say that knitting this is more like creating a piece of art. There is something to be said about knitting really good yarn with rich colors on bamboo needles. I think there’s even a different scent to the yarn that floats up from my happy little fingers. It’s also nice to be working with little needles again - the fat ones (even the 9s) make me feel like I’m in a hurry. I’m not sure why.
Are you tired yet of the little guy above? He’s sort of a busy-body. Very agile, though. If you want, you can make him stop.
Miss the dancing? Start him back up.
Sunday was so fun. Having so many knitters in the house was thrilling - I think my head really did spin. Literally. I’m looking forward to the next meeting when I can sit and talk more as I’ve found that I don’t have Martha’s cool head when it comes to hostessing. 
It was wonderful to meet these women and I was overwhelmed at their generousity. The varied expertise was exciting, too. No matter the question, there was someone that knew the answer or had a theory and everything was shared with such enthusiam. It really opened my eyes to how much more there is to learn and explore in the world of knitting.
Eva and I are having all the Stitch n Bitch women over on Sunday for a wine, cheese, and knitting party - I’m so excited! If everyone that has RSVP’d comes, we will have over 15 knitters all in the same room at once! The knitting karma will be fantastic. We are rearranging the livingroom some to add more seating. Maybe the weather will be nice and we can sit on the deck - that would be cool. Yes, let’s hope for that.
I’ve frightened Bob into thinking that we’re going to make him learn how to knit, poor darling. He doesn’t think it would be good for his manhood. I’ve tried to explain to him that some of the best knit designers are men - Kaffe Fasset, Brandon Mably, etc. C’est la vie.
