Katri has so many interesting links on her blog that have to do with knitting. I get caught up sometimes looking at them and the amazing knitting creations and incredibly talented people. They make socks, sweaters, dolls, vests, toys, afghans and on and on it goes. The yarns are photographed in the most creative ways and the colors of yarn are just a feast for the eyes.
When you read their blogs, all they want to be doing is knitting. And the yarn shops just mesmerize me, it's like being in a candy store. It makes me want to knit in the worst way but I already tried it. Many years ago my non English speaking mother in law tried to teach me and I was sooo two left thumbs. I was so embarrassed, trying to please this woman who could knit in her sleep and had two looms of her own where she wove her own fabrics. Good grief, after that I didn't even want to look at a pair of knitting needles. I tried again about a year ago to make a scarf and got so frustrated with not being able to correct my mistakes that I found myself reverting to a vocabulary not suitable for a 62 year old woman. So I have decided to live the knitting life vicariously through all these wonderful links. At least then I don't have to worry about someone overhearing me.
