I am a HUGE DORK.

Knitting is the epitome of dorkdome, I have always thought.  I mean, how many genuinely cool things can you knit?  An afghan?  Fifty million scarves?  Fifty million and one cat scarves/cat beds/cat blankets/cat ear muffs?  Yes, I have been there.  Knitting is definitely a Grandma Habit.

BUT I LOVE IT.  I really do.  I love knitting.  And granted, I have knitted a lot of scarves.  And a ridiculous number of the aforementioned scarves/beds/blankets/ear muffs for Mother's Most Precious Barclay O'Neil.  But I still love it.  Somehow, relaxing at the end of the day, creating something simple and warm and brightly colored is very rewarding.  Some day, I'll get good enough that I'll be able to create cute things, such as these CUTE AS ALL GET OUT mittens...
