[...] time I open up the page. I made this card ages ago as an homage to the banner, it was sent to Sabrina with the scarf. It also sparked off the flower pin idea. I had forgotten about it til I spotted the photo of [...]

Knitting is the bomb! I met MidgetWrangler through Stitch and Bitch. I heartily recommend you find one in Cork, they help you out, in the absence of a female matriarch who knits.

It’s taken me a long time but I finally finished the second of the Christmas presents this month: http://infantasia.blogspot.com/2008/06/look-what-i-made.html

I’ll have to redo the jumper though, giving myself a year was optimistic :(

I just friended you on Ravelry :-D.

Knitting’s addictive. But what’s worse? When they teach you how to dye yarn. Oh, man, I’m in deeeeeeeeeep.

I have some good easy projects in my queue, if you need any inspiration. And the SnB in Cork City centre is great. Check out the SnBIE list on Yahoo.

Heh. I am purportedly a mere 20 hours away from a Ravelry account :)

Maz! You’ve got Internets! I hope you’re having a fabulous time in Riga. When you get back, you have to tell me where that is.

And you’re right, knitting: it is addictive. Sadly I am on hiatus. Tara being in town meant I (happily) had hostess duties like going out for dinner and coffee where you can knit but now I’m back in my dungeon, tied to my computer and working my little fingers to the bone.

On websites. Not wool.

Yay – I got a mention….

Now all we need is for you to discover Ravelry.com and you’re sunk deep into the world of knitting fever….

Greetings from Riga. Glad to hear you liked the scarf, it’s great that you’ve started knitting yourself. Maybe we should have a pre blog awards stitch n bitch gathering!! I’m looking forward to it already! Wait till you see what I’ve been working on, on holidays….you got a preview on the card….and I’ve ordered pin backs from etsy ;-)

That is very very cool. I love the fact it was interweb related (but then I would, wouldn’t I?) but I think it’s so cool to see all these massively web creative people step away from the keyboards and express themselves in other ways. I reckon there’ll be a knitting corner at the next web awards or meet up!

So Sabrina, knit me a website, will you please?

That’s awesome! My Nana used to make the most amazing creations, aran jumpers and what not until arthritis got the better of her. She taught me a little bit as a kid and believe it or not, nun school in Dublin in the 80′s had knitting class. But all I remember now is plain and purl. Never could grasp crochet. Need to pick it back up. http://www.knittinghelp.com/ is great as it shows you videos of all the stitches.

Best of luck… loving the scarf, cool colours! Maz’s is beautiful too!

Knitting is so addicitive, and I’m finding it’s ever expanding and so creative. I’m new to it all too. I was inspired to find a book and learn after following Aileen’s (I think it’s Aileen) work on her ‘knitting neels’ Irish blog. Your scarf looks great, and I can just imagine you going hammer and tongs at the knit one, knit one, knit one business. Great colours too.
