My most successfully knitted item to date:

If you are still reading, thank you for your friendship and support, because I realize that on the spectrum of awesomeness in hobbies; with playing guitar and throwing pots being on the awesome end; knitting lies squarely in the nerdier end of things. As a matter of fact, and in the interest of full disclosure, I would state that except for my photography habit, all of my hobbies are sitting down there with the nerds. Knitting, quilting, sewing, reading, air guitar, running...you get the idea. And photography is only cool because it's trendy right now. What people don't realize is that to understand photography these days you have to be a computer nerd anyway.

But I'm good, people...not to worry. I'm totally not down on myself. If being a nerd bothered me I might not have worn this to a dance in high school:

Man, that's cute! What ever happened to that dress?

Oh, and I mustn't forget my musical interests:

You haven't lived until you've heard "Hungarian Rhapsody" for accordion. It is truly awe-inspiring.

If that didn't bother me then, I am totally OK with the fact that I achieve Zen while knitting items for my daughter to wear. I'm not justifying, I'm just stating the facts for any who are at all interested in my inner-workings.

And here it is:

Someday soon you'll get a photo of her wearing it.

Bask in my nerdiness.
