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*

    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.

    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!

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...

Hills and Valleys Cowl/Hood (free pattern)

I was searching for the perfect cowl that I had in my mind to knit. Trawling on Ravelry, I wanted one, just the right size around, only once around my neck and not too tight, loose enough to pull up around my face and tall enough to get it around my ears during a windy dog walk, but able to squish it down into my collar of my coat and not be too thick and bulky. About a third of the way into the pattern I decided to make it long enough to pull up as a hood also.  I finally just un-vented this one, as Elizabeth Zimmerman would say. Add caption This is a simple stitch textured cowl/hood (you decide the length). Suitable for beginning knitters. Purl ridges make the cowl easy to scrunchy down or pull up. You can wear the ribbed end on top if you are wearing it as a cowl to make it snuggie around your neck or, wear the purl ridges on top if you are pulling it up as a hood. If you have any questions or find an error please let me know so I can correct it!  I’ve added some tuto...

Warm Snuggly Cocoon Shrug

This is one of my long term projects that I just wanted to get off my needles. When these types of patterns started showing up I was interested in making one. It looked simple and fast and cozy. What more do you want? Described as a wrap, shrug, bolero, and even sweater, it is just a large rectangle, either crochet or in this case knitted. When the rectangle is large enough. Just fold it in two, sewing the sides together. . Easy concept. I picked out a free pattern, The Lion Brand, Speckled Shrug ( free pattern here ) I always like to look at the finished projects on Ravelry and read the comments everyone has made that knitted the item.  Seems like knitters were split into two camps. The make it smaller and more fitted and Bolero jacket like. The other group was to make it bigger. I noticed that the problem with this shape of this pattern is a baggy bottom after sitting. (like once). I had already made another pattern that was a bolo jacket so opted to make mine fairly large ...
