sweet jesus!!
so,i emailed martha of naive knitting to tell her how amazing i thought her site was. she emailed me back her other project website and i have not been so incredibly blown away by anything in years. i hope you all will check it out…thirty-six.com. this is the most inspiring, start making amazing things that move people kick in the ass i have had in 10 years. i can’t even express myself. i am flabberghasted. anyway, it has this amazing history to it, that is completely made up. and you keep thinking that you are seeing something that you shouldn’t be seeing. then there is a separate set of video clips where different people talk about their most beloved object and it’s history. and then i think, what is mine? i don’t know. i guess my wedding band. it was my grandmother’s original band. it is simple and i may not even care for it if it hadn’t been my granny’s being that so little of what i have has any history to it at all, and of course it symbolizes the person i love most in this world, and how simple and complex love is, all at once. just like life. so many layers. you cut away one smooth layer and see the innerworkings of life. anyway, here are some questions that i hope you will post replies to, with a photo, if you like, would be really great.
what do material object do you value most and why?
also, i am going to name my knitting line for the boutique, i don’t know what to name it. any ideas? i would prefer one word. i have been told to use my name, but i am not sure how i feel about that. ideas anyone?
i still haven’t named senseo.
knitting has sparked all of the creative juices again, to do everything. i can’t do enough things. i have so many ideas for so many different media. i am so happy that feeling is back. it is everything that i like about myself. that was gone for a long time. when it is back it gives me hope that i can be what i want to be. what i wish i was. who i really am. not a slackass, gimpy, mooch. ok, i better go before i get rotten tomatoes thrown into my comments.
al wieder sehen!

it was super easy. i used sock yarn b/c it took like 500 or 1000 yarns, so this is handpainted sock yarn. it is even cooler in person. anyway, if you want the pattern, let me know, i made it up as i went, but it is a good trick for making crazy things that are really pretty easy. it took me a while to figure out what the books were saying was a loop stitch. also, you can cut the loops and make a shag-like fabric. i will make you one if you like!! maybe not out of wool like this one though, too hot for ya. maybe a really skinny one.
