I knit! I knitted. I knitz0red. I have learned to knit. One entire stitch! Fear my four rows of stitchery. One could get brainwashed by the endless chain stitching. Umm, and my cat, she has a yarn fetish. Do not try to wind in front of my cat. Kitty will do some winding on the other end. She's very helpful. And I'm learning how to knit. My fiancee is helping me. I would like to say that I couldn't have gotten it out of the diagram in the book. Or maybe I could have, but after much struggle. I don't like struggle. Yay, me!

Knitting is very cool. And useful. Don't all cats have a yarn fetish? Mine certainly does, although I think it is part of her shoelace fetish.

Cool! I might have to take up quilting again, with you guys being all stitchy and stuff around me :)

Congratulations on your new skill! Learning is fun!

As you are now Teh Knitzor, I am Teh Crochetz0r. I learned to crochet this year after, at a guess, 25 years of trying. My wife taught me. She is miraculous. I have now cranked out 12 afghan squares, some bigger than others, some a little strange, but still! 12 afghan squares!

K.

heh, Crochetz0r, my new superhero name.

I was, at one point in my life, able to semi-knit. (My grandmother knitted sweaters for me and my brother; I learned from her. Yes, this is true.) I could knit and eventually purl, but that was the full extent of my technological mastery of yarn. Cast off? Huh, what? I could make very, very long scarves. Theoretically blankets, if one were a snake. And thus ended my potential career as a homemaker. On the bright side, if you need me to splice a modern-day phone line into a 1950's jack, I'm there for you.
