So my sister — who, as you may know, is primarily responsible for starting my knitting career — lives in Chicago — where, as you may also know, they got completely socked in by snow yesterday.

Oh, puh-leeze.

This is being blamed on credited to knitters.
Pfft. Anyone can plainly see that's CROCHET right smack across the front bumper there, as well as the big front-and-center square.

A shameless Allman Brothers reference, and another guest post by the fabulous TrishC!
(Unsurprisingly, though, I couldn’t help throwing in a couple of editorial comments along the way. TH)
Tess and I were chatting one day about how we got started knitting, and we discovered some strange coincidences.
The upsurge in the popularity of knitting in the past half-dozen years or so, coupled with the Internet, has been a mixed blessing to me.

FO’s from Knitter’s Stash
Dec 18
OK, here’s the ONE Xmas present I knitted this year - but it is darned cute. It’s a double-knitted teddy bear from the book “Knitter’s Stash”. The book’s been around a while, but I don't actually own it (the library does, though!) so this is only the second thing I’ve knit out of it.

OK, OK, I simply could not resist posting this vintage gem – even though this is CROCHET, not knitting (and I think knitters all over the globe can all be thankful for that). I truly believe this picture deserves a better fate than being stuck in an old book, forever hidden from prying eyes.

It’s My Sister’s Fault!

I can trace my original fascination with knitting back to age 6. That’s when my big sister, Bets, came for her very last Christmas visit home – because she was engaged, and would be married in April. (Bets and I are at either end of a large family – there are 17 years between us).
