Knitting

So I have been pretty embarrassed to tell most people that I knit. I know that it is usually thought of as an 'old person' hobby, but I have been doing some really cool things like this glove and this scarf. My big goal is this hat though. Seriously, I am actually on my second scarf. My first one is on hold because I have run out of yarn and they only sell it in in the States. My second one is a gift...I know you are all waiting and hoping with baited breath to see if you are the lucky recipient!!! I am actually hoping to hand-make all of my Christmas presents this year (Augh!!! What has become of the cute 25-year-old I once knew?!?! I always tell Kyle that it is his fault I have become so dorky. When he married me I was young and fun and then he took me to Alabama where I started to wear Naturalizers and then to Brussels where I started to knit! Afer the next move I might be eating dinner at 4:30pm and wearing a hearing aid!)

But the point of this blog was to defend the coolness of knitting. If you have some time, check out these articles. My friend Jessica, who is from New York, told me that "Knitting is the new Prozac." I have never been on Prozac, but I can tell you that knitting really is quite calming.
