My friend Christine said to me the other day something like, “I just wanted someplace that I could geek out about yarn where people won’t think I’m crazy.
Since then. I’ve realized that there are a lot of knitting related thoughts bouncing around in my head that don’t get blogged because I feel silly talking about them on my LiveJournal. Because really, its true. If you don’t knit, you don’t get knitting, and if you don’t get knitting, you can’t get knitters.
A normal person? Would think I was a few crayons short of a box if I admitted to them that I actually lost sleep last night thinking about knitting. Or if I told them that the first thought that popped into my head when I woke up Saturday morning was that I had the perfect yarn in my stash to knit socks for a swap partner, and, what’s more, I could save myself hours of knitting thereby making the project see, feasible by knitting anklets. Non-knitters don’t get that
Hopefully, this blog can be a home for some of the fibery thoughts bouncing around in my head, safe and tucked away from the non-yarnies on my LJ. Because really, who else wants to see five pictures of my socks-in-progress besides another knitter.

Welcome to WordPress. There’s about a million us of fiber-y folks over here. Plus, WP is a much more professional site than LJ. I moved from there to here and haven’t regretted it once!

I don’t think I can see enough pictures of people’s socks in progress.
But really… a WHOLE Blog? About Knitting??? Who does that?
