OMG! The Yarn Harlot's Blog
Has anyone The Yarn Harlot's blog this past week? I just read her post from yesterday. She has such a way with words and knitting, she never ceases to entertain.

To truly appreciate the 1/15 post, you need to start with the 1/9 post http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archiv...itter_fun.html

That woman is crazy!

Wow! That is incredible and what a hoot she is. I thoroughly enjoyed reading that and had the incredible urge to go price the kit and drive myself insane.

WHO'S YOUR DADDY?!?

Those are some truly amazing socks she's got going there. I think it's pretty safe to say I will never, ever touch that kit.

I do, I really do feel great sympathy about it all unraveling like that. But ya know? I have to take encouragement in knowing that even a famous, expert knitter like that can have such things happen. It actually gives me hope.

I love her writing, btw.

Holy crap!!! I think I've just been truly inspired to learn how to knit socks!!

Her blog is always a hoot and she really is an inspiration to all knitters.

This is exactly the reason why my darling dh says I cannot possibly like knitting as much as I say I do.

How can you love something that causes so much frustration, he says, as I frog out yet another project that I am doing to teach me something new...lace, cables, dpns...

Personally, I think it's the muttering that does it.

Her blog is sooo funny. I don't have enough crazy in me to take on grape leaf socks (I'm so in awe!) but it definitely sounds familiar. We knitters are a little crazy.
