...there was a girl who loved to knit. She knit socks, sweaters, scarves, hats, mittens, and whatever else took her fancy. She knit for herself, for her family, her mate, and even for people she'd never met in person but talked to over the internet.
This girl's love of yarn led to her seeking out yarn on the internet: knitting blogs, online knitting magazines, yarn for sale, and even brief forays onto eBay (she's still a little afraid of what she is capable of spending on eBay). Being a person with a Real Life, she has also made serious investigations into the local yarn scene, seeking both the usable and affordable, along with the ridiculously expensive and precious. She also has a not-at-all secret passion for knitting magazines, even the really awful ones.
There is so much that this girl realized she wanted to say about yarn, knitting, and related activities such as late-night caffeine consumption and the proper care of one's hands that she decided she need to start a blog dedicated to her upstanding love for a really good wool. This will save her from driving her mate and non-knitting friends and family screaming into the street with her chatter about the difference between K1 P1 ribbing and K2 P2 ribbing.
She hopes that you'll find her interesting, entertaining, or at the very least, a cautionary tale about how a hobby can become an obsession.
And the picture? That's a pair of socks in Cherry Tree Hill Superglitz, in the colorway River Run. When I finished the second sock I had only TWO YARDS left. Way too close for comfort!
