At my knit's end

Nov 08, 2005 07:49


So lately I've become literally obsessed with knitting.  I taught myself how to do it this summer with a beginners' book, a hunk of cheap yarn, and some size 6 needles from a beginner's kit that I bought at Michael's.  Now I can't stop.  I pretty much do it during every spare moment of my life.  I've heard that knitting can be a sort of meditation because it relaxes you while you're doing the same repetitive motion over and over again.  This is extremely true but do I really need to meditate this much?  I rush through projects but I can't stand finishing them.  If I have nothing to knit then I feel a little bit empty.  I constantly need to have a project going.  I've just recently completed a hat.  It's absolutely amazing the sense of accomplishment one feels after making something that isn't square or rectangle shaped..  I've also subscribed to an online knitting magazine.  While browsing through the patterns, I found two hilarious projects that would be rather interesting to make:

This one is both sweet and hilarious

I don't really understand the purpose of this one but it was pretty funny anyway
