This is the first in a series of questions answered by various bloggers this week. Today asks me to evaluate the origins of my own knitting. Seems to me this would work best as a list.
- Girl meets boy.
- Girl meets boy's mom.
- Boy's mom teaches girl to knit. (Also gives her giant bag of romance novels. In hindsight, maybe boy's mom was hoping girl would be making booties.)
- Girl begins long narrow strip of knitting, ostensibly a headband.
- Romance ends.
- Girl continues knitting, making the world's longest headband, as she does not know how to bind off.
- Girl meets new boy, resumes knitting, and begins scarf for new boy.
- Romance ends.
- Girl meets new new boy. Finishes scarf and gives it to new new boy.
- Romance ends.
- Girl meets man.
- Girl marries man and has baby.
- Girl is charmed by amazing fibers and makes scarf for self.
- Repeat step 12 until need for scarf is exceeded by a factor of ten.
- Girl knits sompin' else.
- Repeat step 15. A lot.
Important information: when knitting booties in three colors, you will have six ends per bootie to weave in. I'm just sayin'.
