Friday Funnies …

The question I get asked most often when people see me knitting is “What made you get into knitting”? Well, my answer is simple but a bit lengthy (plus I’m sure I’ve told you before – check out the Hugzzz page if you don’t know) so I won’t get into it here. However, there is another common question that has multiple answers … “How do you know you’re a knitter”? Here’s a few answers (I just wrote down thoughts and found that I’m guilty of most of these)… send me some of yours for a future post (remember there’s […]

Friday Funnies … er, Saturday …

Oops … sorry everybody. I have had a very busy week starting from last Thursday and kinda didn’t get to do a Friday Funnies yesterday. It was for a good reason though. I have been roller skating on the set of the new movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid part 2 and ended up teaching a few people how to knit and generating a lot of interest in it in general. So here is a video that a friend of mine from Men Who Knit showed us. I think you’ll agree it’s really cool. Wait for the correlation with […]

As always, if you know any knitting jokes or have an interesting link to something in the world of knitting/fiber arts, please forward them to me through the comments or by email.

World Cup of Knitting!

For the next 31 days, almost the entire world will be focused on South Africa for the FIFA World Cup of Football (soccer for stubborn North Americans). As an homage to the most popular sport in the world, I am launching a World Cup of Knitting (or Crocheting). Seeing as this post will go up just before/after the first match kicks off, you’re probably just in time to get going on it. It will be much like the Knitting Olympics, but with a small twist. In the kitting Olympics you simply had to knit something that was a personal […]
