Knitting Mart

My grandmother taught me how to knit. She was the only one who could - we were both left-handed. My other grandmother, who was right-handed, gave up. I like to crochet more than knit but I confess few things send me into a state of happy abandon like yarn, yarn and more yarn. Oh, and needles, both knitting and crochet. For one thing, I tend to misplace them. For another, I can't resist buying more. Maybe there's a subconscious wish factor at play in my constantly misplacing them - it provides a ready excuse to indulge my passion for having more.

Up until the internet, I could save money by avoiding places that sold yarn and other knitting items, even if I had concentrate to stop my car from swerving into the parking lot. I admit the virtual purchase of yarn and other knitting supplies doesn't have the same visceral satisfaction that going through a room full of yarn has - touching and feeling and smelling is such an integral part of the experience. That doesn't stop me from doing it altogether too often, however. And since I never met yarn I don't like, none of it's wasted!
