2 Aries butting heads...some much needed perspective |
| My friend invited me to a knitting party which I must confess seemed so far from interesting. I mean I love arts and crafts but knitting just seems like something your grandmother would do. But she's gotten all into it and so I feel like God is providing a lot of avenues for me to distract my attention so I went. Plus there was great food and I was bringing wine which I was ready to open the moment I set foot inside. So we finally get to knitting about two hours into the party. Earlier that day I'd gone with my friend to a knitting boutique store and she helped me get some yarn and needles. There I realized there was Vogue Knitting. I had no idea. My friend scoffed at my ignorance. I laughed. So anyway I picked some soft but not as soft as some of these really beautiful yarns - but I'm a beginner at this point - gray yarn and she helped me pick some needles. So anyway she begins to show me. It took me about 10 minutes to understand how to start the process but slowly but surely I got into it. I must say something about it is addictive. Seriously! I was already imaginging other projects and mind you I'm a newbie. I've been knitting for maybe 5 hours now. This morning I brought my materials on the train and I was knitting away and I felt people looking at me most likely shocked that someone like me was knitting. I don't really look the part, but I enjoyed the questioning looks. That would be me. Noticing some chick that I wouldn't think would knit and I would probably sneak glances at her wondering how the hell she got into that. Well now that's me. I'm at work, waiting to get back on the train home so I can start knitting again. It's hilarious. We'll see how long it lasts though. I have a tendency to go through phases with different hobbies. I found out one of my best friends in Cali is pregnant. So she told me I need to get to work on a baby blanket. We'll see... |
