recently had a knitting renaissance... 3 years ago

About 2 months ago, I saw a fantastic knit wig (yes, wig! like for your head!) on reddit. The pattern was actually from knitty.com, but I found the link on reddit. Anyway… it sparked a knitting renaissance.

I’ve been knitting for almost 10 years and had completed woefully few projects: a pair of socks, a pair of mittens, a baby sweater, booties, dishclothes, a couple scarves and hats. Not an impressive turn out, for 10 years. But that’s all over now. In the last two months, I’ve completed 5 projects and pulled out a sweater that I never completed (it was my first major project, and I discovered 2 years after I started it that I did not have enough yarn!) I’ve started a new sweater in a skimpier pattern with that lovely black wool, and I look forward to the triumph of finally wearing something made from it.

Well, I guess my entry boils down to this: if you want to knit more, but need inspiration, look no further than knitty.com. :)

Done! 3 years ago

I just transferred the last big chunk of money today. We did it… after 5 years of marriage with mounting debt the whole time, we finally did it.

Actually, the solution just kind of fell in our laps so I don’t really have any advice for anyone else… we move to a country with a favorable exchange rate to the US dollar (our debts being in US$), and my husband wrote a succesful book. Well, it was succesful enough, anyway!
