Back to Knitting

I've moved into a new apartment and seem to have gotten my Knitting Mojo back. I finished one scarf and started on another.

More later ...

I'd love to hear from you. What do you knit? When do you knit? What do you like about knitting?

The Diary of a Scarf Knitter.

I knit because it fulfills me.

I knit when I'm happy, stressed, bored, and even hungry. In other words, knitting suits just about any circumstance in my life. I can choose to knit for 10 minutes, an hour or all day if the situation calls for it.

I only knit scarves now. I reached this decision after reading a post on a blog (I wish I knew where so I could give credit) where she said that all she knitted was scarves. They fit into her lifestyle and she refused to feel guilty about not making something fancy or complicated. From then on, I gave myself permission to knit what I enjoyed knitting the most – scarves.

Some people make beautiful, intricate pieces of clothing. I wish that worked with my life, but it doesn't so although I love to see beautiful knitted pieces, I just knit scarves. They really are a diary of my life and times.

And, since I knit so many, I give them away, sell a few and look for any homeless person on the street whose life would be vastly improved by the gift of one of my scarves. Also if you know a non-profit group that would share knitted scarves, I will be glad to share the info on this site.
