I Don't Purl the Way You Do

[hexnessie]

I had a minor existential crisis the other day. It turns out I purl in an "unusual" way. I purl weird! I'm a weird purler.

"You what weird?" Family asked in astonishment.
Me: "Purl! You know. Like, when you knit."
Family: "You knit?!?"
Me: "Shut up! It's a hobby."
Family: "But it's so... 19th century."
Me: "I have migraines! That's 19th century

Hey, I have knitting needles that are, I quote "chromium-plated for speed"! That's soooo 21st century! ;) Plus I learn knitting on YouTube. Somehow, I don't think those guys at DARPA, when they invented the Internet, ever thought that it would be soon used by stately ladies exchanging knitting tips!

Knitting is the Newest Hottest Thing! No stately ladies involved. :) It's spawned bestsellers and Teen Knitting groups. And now, you've got chrome-plated needles!

Take that, race-car afficionados!

Seriously, if I wasn't all thumbs, I'd have taken up knitting myself. Most of the slashers I know seem to do it. WHEN they find the time to do this, I don't know. Reading precludes knitting, in my mind. Not to mention that WRITING precludes knitting. So I dunno.

Hi, Ness, hi. No proszę, nauczylam się nowego slowa - purl. Na początku przeczytalam je jako "purr in an unusual way". LOL

Moje koty chyba by mi powiedziały, gdybym dziwnie mruczała :)))

A od jutra zaczynam oglądać Blake 7! Udało mi się zdobyć. Druty chyba pójdą na chwilę w kąt ;)
