The Slowest Knitter in the World!
Today I thought I’d just post a quick update on my most recent project and add a link that knitters visiting this site may find quite useful.
Progress on the bag I’m knitting is slow but steady – which means that it is coming along, but very slowly. I didn’t work on it at all over the weekend as I had so much going on, but I picked up where I left off again today. Hopefully, I’ll get a little more done this evening and have made a real inroad into it by the weekend.
One thing I have realised is that knitting could really help me to lose weight! As one of my non-knitting new year’s resolutions, I resolved to lose the excess weight I’m carrying and get fit. Today, while knitting away, it occurred to me that if I wasn’t knitting, I’d probably be snacking on chocolates or a bag of chips while I was watching TV – keeping my hands busy means I’m not eating out of boredom! What a great consequence of something I really enjoy.
The site I thought you may find of use is The Daily Knitter. As well as news, reviews and general knitting information, this site has a number of free knitting and crochet patterns. As most people look to cut back on unnecessary expenses in the current financial climate, finding free patterns online – particularly ones you can adapt and “make your own” – is one way of making knitting that bit more affordable.
