Hmm.. maybe I can do that then. I'll have to look at see what I can find. I don't know about chunky yarn though because I will probably wear them the most when I'm computing. OK, that was silly. If I'm awake, I'm computing and I don't think I'll wear them when I'm asleep. I've got a really nice merino/cashmere blend worsted weight that I think would work well and not be irritating.

Thanks for the link! I like the look of those but I'm intimidated just reading about them. I'm about a dozen rows into Ami's rectangle idea and loving the way this yarn feels in my hands. |

I agree, knitting is super fun. I totally think its butchly though, because in my head I'm like: I made this! With sharp objects!
I don't know how that's butch, actually, but it makes sense to me. So far, I am working on rectangles, and I am making a checkerboard patterned rectangle that's really bright. Before this I was working on interpretative rectangles, which means that I was trying to make rectangles but they weren't coming out rectangular. One day I hope to knit a circle. ;-) |

I teach knitting at my school (apart from French and Latin!) and I have boys in the classes, they love it, also some male teachers have come for instruction, so I think knitting butches make total sense! Sharp objects indeed, I always caution the kids, and besides, one can always use one's Swiss Army knife to cut yarn, can't one?
Couple of years ago I had a very butch middle schooler in knitting, and she was very good so she got to the point she could make a tank top (regular project for the girls at this point) but knowing how she loved boys' clothing, I told her she could make a vest instead, and that I would get other colours for her (we seemed to have an abundance of pastel!)......and she said very loudly : Yesssssssss!!!! Elle*

I love knitting (and a little bit of crochet)
Although I must admit I haven't done much this winter (I'm in the southern hemisphere, and baby it's cold outside). But I'm almost at the end of renovations and haven't been inspired due to the mess. I'm on Ravelry, but haven't been there much lately either.

down time in between classes, watching t.v. or sitting in the chemo clinic are the best times for me to work with my hands. i found a great pattern for a 5&1/2 hour crocheted blanket and am *trying* to make as many as i can to give away as christmas presents. i also subscribe to lionbrandyarn.com and they send out free weekly patterns for all sorts of yarn derived crafting. i have also gotten back into beading and have made some pretty neat jewelry! i just love to create special things with my hands.

Here is the link to the blanket I am currently making. It's super simple and easy to do while watching tv or chatting with someone. |
