- Stoplight knitting should be done on circs. There's less chance of needles falling out.
- If you come enough times to her book signings, the Yarn Harlot will recognize you.
- When on meds that cause weight gain (or, I suppose, pregnant), shawls are more practical to knit than sweaters.
- The best way to get family members to understand knitting is to get them to have a geeky craft of their own. Like woodturning.
- Strangely, the above rule does not seem to apply to scrapbookers.
- You can find a group on Ravelry for anything. Anything.
- And speaking of Ravelry? Endless source of entertainment.
- Being in the company of knitters makes me want to knit more.
- Make that "knit every waking hour".
- And several of the non-waking hours.
- Being sick is a great way to get more knitting done. Assuming the meds don't knock you out.
- If you ask the lys owner if she has more colors of that lovely and dirt-cheap laceweight, she'll pull out her entire stock to check without complaining.
- Some new knitters are really really brave. They are examples to us all.
- Lace knitting is the best knitting in the world.
- Yes, you can knit lace without a lifeline, but it's better not to tempt the knitting gods.
- Don't pull laceweight from the center of the ball. Just don't.
- It is totally normal to have yarn piled on every available surface of your room/house. Totally.
- It is also totally normal to knit while soaking in the tub.
- Knitting socks in public draws out the curious inner knitter in everyone around you.
- Having three lys's makes me really, really spoiled.
- Some lys's have better yarn selections than others.
- Give up looking for sock yarn at Meijer's. It ain't there.
- Everyone can knit the same pattern and their projects will still be totally unique.
- Before modifying a pattern, at least consider that the designer might have known what they were doing.
I will now continue to pretend that the last... *counts*... five months of blog silence never happened. Toodle-pip.
