knit knit knit!
he’re the secret: knitting.
it’s not so much of a secret, but i’m not very good at it and i’m kind of shy about it. i’ll bring my knitting along, but mostly only to class, or to family occasions. i’m pretty much only a square-knitter. so i’m a little scared about the patterns i’ve fallen in love with from the most recent release of knitty.
the first pattern that i’m in love with? it’s norberta. remember that love of green dinosaurs that i confessed earlier? norberta could easily be an adorable green dinosaur.
secondly, there’s twinkletoes. i’ve always had a love for ballet slippers, and lately ballet flats have been my favorite shoe. sooo, yes. cubbie and i could wander around (or slip and slide around) our house in adorable slipper sock ballet princess land (but shh, don’t tell anyone that we’re princesses).
and finally, oh finally, there’s sheldon. sheldon is a turtle whose shell comes off. for some reason, that is utterly adorable to me. he reminds me of a stuffed turtle there was when i was little that would turn into a rabbit, but sheldon also has his own special shell-as-backpack charm. oh, sheldon.
so here’s the trouble with knitting: i want to start knitting all of these things right now, but i don’t have the right needles! i have yarn that would probably work (if sheldon wanted to be bluuue), but i never seem to have the right needles on hand.
still! here’s to knitting, and strange and juvenille fascinations.
