Beauty School Dropout: Knitter's Meme Archives

September 28, 2006

Ten knitterly things you may not know about me:

1. I've never knit anything with mohair.

2. I don't like big needles - but size 0's still seem way too small. (Size 1s - no problem!)

3. I became a yarn snob astonishingly fast after learning to knit. The internet can be a dangerous thing! (But you already knew that.)

4. I really like to seam up sweaters. (I think because it means I'm almost done, but I also jsut really like mattress stitch!)

5. I have a lot of finished projects that I never wear. But I'm getting better at picking out patterns that will look good on me.

6. I rarely knit more than three projects at time, but I absolutely MUST have more than one. I get way too bored!

7. I love teaching people to knit, but none of my students have become obssessive knitters. (Much to my dismay!)

8. Sometimes I wish I had to commute to work, so I could have an excuse to knit on the train or in a carpool.

9. I have no desire to learn to knit intarsia or entrelac.

10. I am really good at fixing knitting mistakes.

It was really hard to come up with these - you should try it!

Thanks for doing this. I enjoyed your answers (and I agree, it was hard).

Very interesting! I agree with you 0's are just too small!
