I'M A KNITTER - THERE ARE ALWAYS STRINGS ATTACHED
Cultured Purls - (Judith S.)

I was walking around the office t'other day and one of my co-workers says to me, "You have knitting needles around your neck!" I said, "Yes, That's my new jewellery. I prefer it to cultured purls" .

So, yes, I walk around daily with my favourite circs around my neck just in case I spy a piece of yarn or string that's calling out for help. It ensures that unsavory types stay away from me on the commute in and back. I'm thinking of starting my own line of jewellery.

On the needles currently, I have the wretched baby blanket (not on the needles around my neck). Yes, this is the same blanket which I professed last week or the week before to liking the way it was working up. Now, however, I cannot stand the sight of it. Well, that is not exactly true. It's just that I get bored working on a straight piece of knitting. Give me texture and shape anytime. I need a challenge.

Enter: "The Vest".

I spent my Sunday Googling "Top-Down-In-The-Round-Buttonless-Zippered-Easy-Quick-Masculine-Child-Vest" for a project I've been asked to make. Oh, and he likes Spongebob Squarepants - could I perhaps work that in somehow - oh, and could you make it masculine? And does it come with fries and a shake?

Who said knitting wasn't an adventure? Anyone have a pattern for algae?

This is too funny! New jewelry. I read that there is a knitting instructor that takes her needles around her neck when going through airport security. There is an idea!
