Today I’m going to be talking about another knitting blog
that I really like, called “Love-Knitting.” Since I didn’t get to discuss all
the fun trials and tribulations that come along with knitting last time, I
thought I’d go over a few more that I found on this blog today.
The first topic this blog discusses is dark yarn and night
knitting. Knitting at night is difficult enough, but using dark yarn, as I
often do, leads to you relying almost solely on your sense of touch and muscle
memory, leaving you to wake up with curious holes and dents in your piece.
The second topic “Love-Knitting” discusses is runaway yarn.
You think your little ball of yarn is planted firmly on the couch besides you,
but one wrong move and all bets are off. Now, somehow, your yarn is half way
across the room and you are left you follow the trail and find where it ends.
Not to mention re-rolling it back into a ball of yarn.
Next, sitting on your knitting, and even though it rhymes,
its not cute. You wouldn’t think sitting on soft yarn could inflict any
personal harm, but there are two sharp wooden sticks pointing out of it, not to
mention that it will probably star unraveling itself at this point.
The last topic I’ll go into today is one I identify with
very closely, and that is a term this blog refers to as “knitting anger.” This
is the phenomenon that occurs when you are knitting around another human, and
they are trying to converse with you while you are meticulously counting
stitches, resulting in irrational anger towards your friend, and uneven rows.
That’s it for today’s Knitting woes, until next time,
careful where you sit.
