Julie and Julia for Knitting

Going to do a 'Julie and Julia' with knitting. One square a day for 365 days using the '365 knitting stitches a year perpetual calendar' by Martingale and Co. First day's square - the 'seeded rib'. (Sunday August 16).

Today's square - Nine Stitch Braid - which means I need to learn cables FAST! Is this a good idea? For me, yes - I need to have a goal and need to *really* devote some time to my knitting. This will make me knit every day and also will make me accomplish something. I can make the squares and use them to make afghans - purses- donate some to charity...LOTS of things. I haven't been a "product" knitter lately (actually finishing WIPs)....more of a process knitter. I really want to start finishing some items.

KIP (Knitting in Public for the newbies)

A Knitting in Public story - I was waiting for my friend to meet me before the Barry Manilow concert last week. I told her to meet me in the hotel bar across the street from the venue. I, of course, brought my knitting. I was standing (it was packed) near the bar with a drink and a baby blanket and circs in my hand...one girl looked at me and almost fell over - she said that she had never seen anyone knit in a bar....

There is a first time for everything....

I will be taking my February lady sweater on circs to Dave and Busters tonight while I wait for my college roommate and her daughter :)

I've had articles published before, but not about my love for knitting and fiber...

This is something I've really longed to do...
