And yes, watch television without any feelings of guilt. My favourite yarn is ribbon yarn; made over 60 scarves in the past year. One of these days, I must mail one to Wichita. <BR/>Apparently, knitting is now part of the Slow movement which started with food and is now branching out to fibre arts. Nice to be trendy which I rarely am. <BR/>NoraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113805358092250322.post-7576523704499160342008-03-11T08:42:00.000-07:002008-03-11T08:42:00.000-07:00I can understand knitting for trees--they are prob...I can understand knitting for trees--they are probably easier to fit than hats and sweaters. I recently finished a hat which I suspect neither daughter wants to wear and spent last night trying to figure out how to add onto it to make it fit. Actually, I would not knit for a tree -- that seems kind of wasteful, but I love the idea of public "knit art". Basically I knit because it feels so good on the fingers, the colours please my eyes and nourish my budding sense of textile aesthetic and lastly knitting gives me an excuse to sit and watch t.v while knitting. While I am not an enthusiastic shopper (witness my use of cataloguesfor clothes shopping), I always love going to yarn stores. While knitting has been around for ages, something about knitting, makes me feel modern, productive and even creative. Krista -- you would like it!<BR/><BR/>WendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
