I've Become An Addict... Again...
Submitted by Tswizz on January 11th, 2010
It's been a while. I know. I blame it all on my new addiction, well, my "I forgot how much I loved this" obsession... knitting! ha. I pretty well went into knitting overdrive over the holidays. Let's put it this way, i knit, 7 scarves, 1 touque, Dishclothes, a blanket, a vest and i'm almost done my purple hoodie! yep, i'm nuts. i know.
i will post pics of the hoodie as soon as i finish it. The vest too :) that just needs to be sewn together.
For me, because about... 80% of my life is online and has to do with "techy/coding/social media" stuff, coming home and being able to do something which most consider an "old fashioned" hobby makes me feel awesome. It reminds me to slow the hell down and relax. I love it. My dream now is to one day open up a Knitting Store/Cafe. Who knew! lol
Along with knitting, i think i'm going to try and tackle Amigurumi. That's a crocheting style which allows you to pretty much crochet ANY shape. The result of this, well, take a look at these beyond adorable toys:

Need i say more?!?! They're so beyond adorable that i can't contain it!!!
So, you realize what my new mission is right? To crochet an Ocean Surf CUBE!
It's gonna take me a while, and i have some learning to do. But i will post my progress!

Old school!
Right on, so important to slow down like that!
I would for sure hang out in your knitting store cafe. As long as you have maple donuts ;)
