I must be in hell

So as with most crafts, friends ask "oh, can you make me one" and this applies to knitting too. We love our friends so we say "sure!" and proceed to design, purchase supplies and begin the piece. This is not so hard really, except when the friend states that they are allergic to wool. I am convinced that people who say they are allergic to wool just haven't met the right sheep, alpaca, llama etc.
Being an accommodating type person, I picked up some really nifty looking self striping 100% acrylic gray yarn and began knitting the chosen project (a scarf) in a seed stitch pattern. It looks cool but 237 rows into it, I want to shoot myself! After all this it is only about 24 inches long!
In the future, when I get the idea to do something in seed stitch with 100% acrylic yarn.... someone please whack me in the head until I regain my senses.

Knitters, Knitters Everywhere

So it seems I am not the only one bit by the knitting bug. I posted a blog on another one of my sites letting others know about this spanking new blog and while receiving the expected comments about being nuts (in all fairness, I did call myself nuts in the post) I learned that several of my friends also knit! I'm thinking maybe its time for a knit oriented trip..... cruise, roadtrip, visits to far flung LYS etc.

And so it begins.....

I have finally sucummbed to the world of blogging. Some people blog their lives, I will blog my obsession. I finally learned to knit after many years of trying various people, videos, books etc and now I am hooked.
This will be a place to share my obsession with others like me. So come in, take a seat and knit.
