Lunchtime project - yes, I'm obsessed
A couple of weeks ago I started attending SnB (Stitch 'n Bitch) knitting club that meets at Panera's every Thursday evening. There is little to no bitching I'm pleased to say (except when I much redo a row or two because I'm distracted by conversation)...there is, however, much inspirational knitting. The group consists of all women (except for our fearless leader's fearless husband) who's ages vary from early twenties to well....let's just leave it at the fact that I am not the oldest :-) Jobs are rarely discussed (hence the lack of bitching) but I do know that one woman is an engineer, another is a grad student, and another is a Grandmother Extraordinaire that creates what only can be described as adorable knits for her new grandchild.
It seems that the art of knitting is no longer confined to the elderly (aka Moi). The skull bone patterns that I have encountered online are a testament to this. Current knitting trends refreshingly include youthful designs. Admittedly, my style does gravitate toward the classic (read this as boring). But who knows?! I never thought I would don (eternally) a tattoo either (which, incidentally, is still a bit crusty in the middle but seems to be healing quite well otherwise and is no longer sore in the least!)
