Muntu Stitches

1. Patterns that make you want to knit immediately,like Ms. Marigold (see above). Looking to buy the yarn for this soon!

2. Eunny from See Eunny Knit! Look at what she’s knitting now, she is an amazing knitter. I love her attention to detail.

3. I’ve actually lost weight since I started knitting. WTF? Yes, knitting needs overrode my hunger pangs. (Ok, well maybe this isn’t the case but I have lost weight since last October and I haven’t been working out.) Yeah, I’m not sure how this happened exactly…
4. Yarn!

5. Knitbloggers. Some of my favourites off the top of my head, Ysolda, Wendy from Knit and Tonic, ScoutJ (and her yummy sock yarn) and Lolly of Project Spectrum fame.

6. Knitting actually got me a job. Well, yes I do have the proper credentials but I demo’d how to make a scarf, and the interviewer also happened to knit. I found out yesterday that I’ll be teaching Literature and Writing this summer. Yay.

7. The confidence it’s given me. I taught myself so knit, and just that fact has made me realize with a little patience and time, you can do anything.
