Just a Social Knitter

I started knitting durning the last trimester of my pregnancy with Noah.  He’s about to turn two, and I’ve just started having the spare time to finish the project I started.  I love my fuzzy green yarn.  It covers up mistakes.  It makes my knitting go fast because it makes big gaps look cool.  Did I mention I have a yarn addiction?  It’s a sickness.  There’s no telling how many pounds of yarn I have in my stash.  But then weaving does require a lot of yarn and I do that, too.  But I digress.

I picked knitting back up thanks to YouTube- it’s where I go to learn and relearn my knitting techniques.  Well, technique.  I’m keeping it pretty simple for now with the one stitch I know how to do.  But you’ve gotta start somewhere! 

There’s a great little group that meets every Tuesday here in Montgomery to knit and have coffee and chat.  I started going last night and it’s very refreshing to have adult conversation!  I found the group through meetup.com- you can find all sorts of cool groups on there.  So now I’m hooked- even if I didn’t enjoy knitting so much, I’d still do it for the great company and the excuse to spend too much money on a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
