You may be a knitter if….

 knitter

1. You may be a knitter if, during a really bad movie you start looking at all the sweaters and knitwear and critiquing them in your head.

2. You may be a knitter if, you are constantly deciding if it will viewed as “rude” if you knit _______. (at a reception, meeting, church……)

3. You may be a knitter if, you can walk up to a total stranger, because you know they are wearing something hand knitted. Twenty minutes later you part, with info on the yarn, pattern, problems encountered during the knitting of it, and email address.

4. You may be a knitter if, you wake up in the middle of the night dreaming about knitting.

5. You may be a knitter if, you use the same adjectives to describe yarn as you would your favorite dessert.

    Oh that was funny! Although I guess the knitter won't doubt if it's rude or not to knit everywhere. Or is it a reckless knitter then?
    # 5 is yeeeeaaaaah yummy yummy yarns...
    I'd add one about desperate knitters - when you forgot to eat/sleep/what day is it today - because you were knitting.

    Thanks for sharing - it's morning here and your post put a smile on my face.
    *gone knitting*

  2. I do this with quilts. Have you ever noticed quilts in movies? Or fantastic fiber art jackets on a person walking down the street. I embarrass my hubby sometimes.

  4. I must be a Knitter - because I agree with all of them!

    I'll add that you also LOVE to look at pictures of total strangers who are wearing something hand knit - LOL

    BTW, love the new look to your blog!

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.

Fibonacci and Knitting

Some time ago I learned that Fibonacci can be applied to knitting. If you are not familiar with Fibonacci, he was a mathematician from the middle ages. He figured out the relationship of proportions, now known as the golden ratio (or number), Fibonacci sequence or 1.618 or Phi. This sequence is seen in practically everything. I’ll link to several articles if you wish to learn more. From reproducing animals, to sea shells and galaxies, the human form and sunflowers. (Mona Lisa, Parthenon, and the pyramids of Egypt, just to name a few). This ratio is present in many, many more surprising things. The first time I used this was in my felted bag. I loved the random look of it. This pattern is The Big  Bag Pattern (free on Ravelry) by Maia Discoe (link ) Below are a couple of links if you wish to learn more.. Fibonacci Numbers and Nature The Wiki and Fibonacci Mona Lisa -- Da Vinci's Use of Sacred Geometry (you tube link) In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci
