Sponsor my private revolution:
What am I selling on Ebay today? Let the Revolution begin... *You can be any age to join the knitting revolution. It's not just grannies any more. *To join, just grab the nearest pointy things, and tie them to the nearest string-like substance. Wave them enthusiastically in the air, yelling passionate cries such as "och aye the noo!" *The revolution requires that you supply your own weapons. Er, needles. *Knitting can be sexy. Sure, it can. Go to knitty and be inspired! *Knit in public, and if anyone looks at you funny, you've always got a sharp metal thing handy with which to poke their soft bits. *Get all knitting-zen on people. Then when you really let your hair down, you can get away with it, because you're "that nice person, who knits". *insert evil laugh here* *Oh, yeah, almost forgot. The revolution will not be televised. Or... something like that. I moved to Canberra last November, and am now involved in the best Canberra knitting group! ... so any locals or visitors interested, go on over to Canberra Stich N Bitch yahoo group and join us in our dark endeavours! I mean, creative meeting of minds... er, yeah. Something like that. We meet at Starbucks in Civic on the first Thursday evening of every month, and the third Sunday of the month at 2pm. Come along! If you feel shy, feel free to post online first, or email someone to ask a few questions. :):):) If you want, use the contact button and I'll give you my details so we can get in touch. Always happy to get the interesting people of Canberra out of the woodwork... I know you're there, ya just hard to find sometimes *chuckle* Sydney Knitting Adventures continue at "my" previous knitting group in Newtown: Meet up for coffee, cake, and knitting adventures galore at Barmuda Cafe, Australia Street Newtown. It's opposite the police station, and across the intersection from Newtown Train Station. See the SSK Website for details :D You, and this many other people with a cramp in their forefinger: Interesting in knitting, and what other knitters are doing? Or are you just bored, or farting off at work while the boss ain't watching? Well then, I have just the thing to keep you busy for hours on end... go exploring the wonderful world of knitting blogs. Can you believe there's so many of us? I have my favourite blog-days, and these are some of them: A hairy tale Horn-y knitter Musical tongs God on the brain Blogging from behind a mask Creativity and productivity I am SUCH a nerd Deliver me from Swedish furniture Feminist backlash Modern beauty is a myth Instant karma’s gonna getcha Go feminism Harris the Well Clad Fish The love is in the food Embarrassment, Humiliation and Joy Booty The birth of a grammar avenger Beetles Traffic Lights, part 1 Spawn of Satan Traffic Lights, part 2 A long time ago, in a knitting bag far, far away... And my other blog, complete with a few little patterns: http://miscsqueak.blogdrive.com

Josh, my nephew, who is a distant relation of Satan I know that makes me a distant relation too, but I'm pretty sure he's closer. Trust me. He is sooo cute but he's really really smart and knows where everyone's buttons are, and ain't afraid to press em. No wonder I love him so much *snicker* So. This is my nephew, Josh. Awww! In honour of (finally) working out how to post photos directly on to the page, I've put his picture up. Knitting-related too, which is always ideal on a knitting blog. Heh.  Now how cute is that. The kid, too. Hehehehe... I was knitting something else when he came up to me and got all curious, like kids and other similar bizarre life forms are wont to do... Adorable Demon Child: Hey Mon, what's that? *points* Me: This is knitting Josh. I'm making a jumper. Adorable Demon Child (after a very very short pause): Hey Mon Me: Yes Josh? Adorable Demon Child: Can you knit me a jumper? Me: Yeh, sure. Adorable Demon Child: A black one? Me (with slightly raised eyebrow): Yeeeh... Adorable Demon Child (warming to his new designing capabilities): With a white skull on it??? Me (now thoroughly approving): Yeh, no problem little man. Adorable Demon Child: Now? Me: Kiddo, you gotta lot to learn about life. Gimmee a coupla weeks. Adorable Demon Child notices something sparkly on other side of room and bounces off, distracted. This does not stop him from expressing his ire when he realises a few hours later that I haven't started his jumper yet. It doesn't matter to him that I'm currently knitting in pink, yellow, green, blue and purple, and suggests a yellow skull on a purple background when I explain to him that I have no black or white with me. He also reminds me of my obligations the next time I see him. Heard a comedian once comment that 3 year olds are so single minded that they could probably rule the world but for their tendency to get distracted. I'm inclined to agree, and stretch the age window a few years. So there you go. It was a bit big for him when I finished it, but he's growing like mad. Bet it fits him now. And he was so excited when I gave it to him (see photo... heh) that I practically had to scrape him off the ceiling to pose for the photo. Now all I have to do is post something a little bit more recent than last winter's knitting! :-) Patience and all that. I'm tired. Viruses (particularly cold and flu ones) suck. (today's card also sucked. 8 of swords. But hey, that's life. It ain't all socknitting. Posted at 3:22 pm by monnsqueak
