ED & NED - BABYSITTING THE NEPHEWS...

Early Christmas Shopping...

Just keep this in mind...alot of knitters knit their gifts ;)

Everyone Has a Little Trouble Now and Again....

I have nearly a lifetime experience with yarn, but just sometimes, I swear it's like my knitting explodes or something...weird, huh?

This 'toon available on this lovely tee here

The Joy of Knitting...and Knitting....and Knitting...and Knitting Some More...

'Mindless or TV Knitting (definition): A knitting project that, by virtue of it's easy and repetitive pattern can be knitted without too much thinking, something that can be done while the better part of your mind is occupied with another equally entertaining activity such as watching reality television.'

Sometimes, just sometimes the knitter gets too involved with mindless knitting. Smile gently & wear it anyway.

What's Wrong?? Ohhh, Nothing....

Misplacing Knitting Needles . . . . . Bad

Finding Them the Hard Way . . . . Also Bad

To your non-knitting friends, the look on your face . . . . . priceless

Don't Bother Us When We're Counting....

Nearly every knitter I know reacts in nearly exactly the same way when someone unwittingly tries to get the knitter’s attention while she/he is counting (and very often re-counting when we lose count) about a bazillion-six stitches – raising our voices and counting louder & louder until they get the picture…so, dear family and friends – we really do love you, just go away when we’re counting stitches.

Stash? What Stash?

Stash (as in how it applies to knitting): A knitter's collection of yarn and/or fiber, if said knitter is also a spinner. Seems to grow by itself & acquire a mind of it's own.

Technically, if you can find somewhere to store it, your stash is really never out of control or overwhelming...personally, I find stuffing skeins down the sleeves of coats we rarely wear to be a great alternative storage solution :)

Knitter's Language 101....

Definition: If you make a mistake in your knitting and/or decide to rip out a whole project and start over, either because you were knitting the wrong size, decided you didn't like the pattern, or for some other reason, you are frogging. So, you "rip it, rip it" - this is reminiscent of the sound frogs make, hence the term 'frogging'.

Note from Head Krazie: This is one of those instances I warned you about - a Pearl Too comic I just couldn't wait until the 1st or the 15th to show you :)
