Mission of Knitterliness

One of the things that has always kept me from being A Knitter is the girliness… and the focus on sweaters. None of that stops me from conversing with strangers about my knitting or theirs. One of the things I want this blog to focus on is not being about cute, girl stuff—given all the baby hats I make, that might be difficult. Still, I don’t want this to be all flowers and potpourri. Potpourri gives me a headache.

As a less than skilled knitter who has been trying to make new and interesting things over the years (not always with the aid of a pattern or an understanding of the pattern) I’ve made some great discoveries that I wish somebody had shared with me. Resources I wish I’d known about earlier, things I struggled to understand on my own and do, great ideas gleaned from others.

Of course there are still things I want to know, techniques I still can’t do, and projects I can’t make. It’s a learning process and I hope somebody out there is with me so that we can help each other.
