Feeling a bit inadequate?

by Keri the Sheep

Well I went to Pahrump today to get away from it all… turns out that Marie (my 6-month old daughter) won’t go to anyone but me. So rather than having a lovely visit with my Gramma Rae while spending the day knitting, I instead carried Marie around Gramma’s house while constantly telling her “it’s not you, she does that with everyone…”

Well, at least I got to knit 3 rows on the latest panel I’m working on. Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Although this too, was less than satisfying as it is a constant reminder of my *novicity* when it comes to cables. (I know that’s not a real word, but do I care? Nope. You knew exactly what I meant didn’t you? Ok then.) But how cool is that cable needle, huh? I made it. Yep that’s right. Bent it myself.

Check out this beginning of a cable pattern! Notice the lovely twisted stitches on the left…

Not only am I inadequate with cables, I also suck at lots of stuff *not* knitting related, such as packing, cleaning, networking, and being married. I *am* however great at parenting. So neener, neener, neener.

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
