sit ‘n’ knit nyc

| 14 comments

My knitting mojo has been on the fritz, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. I’m knitting in bits and pieces here and there, but I’m lacking the longish stretches that I was accustomed to when I lived in Philly. Plus I’m on the sleeves of the Cambridge Jacket, and we all know what fun sleeves can be.

In order to get myself more inspired, and to meet some new knitters, I joined Sit ‘n’ Knit New York, a meetup group that I’ve known about for a while because of Annie Knits and other bloggers who have mentioned it either to me directly or on their own blogs. Little did I know that the group organizer, Anne-Marie, is actually THE Annie of Annie Knits! She welcomed me by name (Minty)–it took a bit but then I put it all together. (Or maybe she just told me who she was, and it required no “putting together” but I finally understood.)

First, let me say that I wish I had knitting to show or really talk about. I’ve finished the back and both fronts of my Cambridge Jacket, and I’m more than halfway done with one sleeve, but it’s just a mess of long skinny bits of knits, not much to photograph. I decided to not do any binding off, anticipating 3-needle bindoffs, so all the pieces are sitting next to each other, threaded onto the same piece of waste yarn, and most pieces are still connected to the original ball of yarn they were being knitted from. In short, it’s kind of a mess. Can’t reveal publicly. Soon enough!

So the rest of this post is going to be the most ridiculous thing: A small homage to my old TV.

what a year

06 review

2006. The most tumultuous year of my adult life. I started it in a stable relationship of nearly 10 years, at a good job of nearly 7 years, in a comfy apartment where I’d lived for nearly 3 years, in my adopted city of nearly 7 years. I’m ending 2006 in no relationship, in a new job of 2 months, in a comfy apartment where I’ve lived for 2 months, in a completely new city. I couldn’t have predicted the sheer amount of change I’d go through.

I hope everyone is recovering from the Christmas/Hanukah blitz and getting ready for New Year’s! My Christmas week was busy, but really good. Actual knitting content is at the end, in case you want to scroll down . . . I promise.
