Knitting and Crafting
Dude, knitting is metal.
It’s all the rage currently thanks to mainstream books like “Stitch N Bitch,” and it’s taking over the world of high-priced knit goods.
I’ve been knitting for under six months, and I’ve been churning out Finished Objects like nothing.
I’m very proud of it and I hope to keep getting better to someday make all the stuff in the expensive knitting magazines I keep buying.
Maybe someday I’ll post some articles on “Things They Don’t Tell You,” because while there are pages and pages of help on the internet, there are a few things that I just had to “wing” and learn on my own, and that pissed me off, so maybe I pass savings onto you!

And Crafting — I’m not really sure how I got into crafting. I am just somehow magnetically drawn to craft stores like Michael’s and JoAnne Fabrics, and I walk down the aisles salivating. Then I spend a lot of money on things, so I may as well make crap out of it, right?
I also think that crafting is too often associated with grandmothers and crazy cat ladies. I wish to buck the system of that stereotype, so I try to make nerdy pop culture things. Which I guess is its own stereotype now. Crap.

It’s where I learned to knit, prompting shock from my grandmother and a comment on how magical technology is these days.
Seriously, though, this woman is amazing and she has videos of herself knitting. - Knitting Livejournal Community
While I love to hang out here and see everyone’s pretty knitwear and a majority of the people are very supportive, if you comment on anything controversial, be prepared for idiotic drama the likes of which even the WB would pass on. Also: don’t comment on anything that has ever been posted in the last 7 years. All 4,000 members are required to have photographic knowledge of all 45,000 articles and the LJ Knitting Elite will knit you hell to pay! - Knitty.com
Awesome articles and patterns.
I’m not good enough to actually knit anything here just yet, but soon. - Girl from Auntie
Interesting blog and really cool patterns available on Paypal. - Knit Club
Simply by talking about Knit Club, I am breaking the first and possibly second rule of Knit Club.
