You Asked For It....A Knitting Update!!!

"Fashionable girls are turning to old-fashioned hobbies to ease the strain of urban life. Now knitting has replaced networking as the hippest after-hours occupation." Vogue, May 2004.

I am the first to admit that I do not lead the most stressful life. Often, my biggest dilemma is deciding which movie I should move to the top my Netflix queue. But then sometimes, something happens like my phone rings and immediately after answering, I just know it is one of those calls that I should have just let go to voicemail and then promptly deleted. This happened last night and turned me into a stressed-out, teary-eyed girl walking down the street. (Not too worry, it all ended up being resolved.) But I got home and had to do something to calm myself down. And then I saw my knitting supplies sitting on the floor.


(Don't you LOVE my knitting basket?!? It's a watering can (duh!). If I knew knitting involved buying super-cute accessories, I would have started doing this much sooner. A piece of advice, if you ever want me to do something or try something new, just have it be an activity that involves shopping for fun new things. I will so be there.)

Anyway, I plopped myself down on the couch, turned on the movie In Her Shoes, and knitted, wait for it....FIVE WHOLE ROWS. I was so proud of myself!!!
