I&#8217;m a fair weather non-knitter.<\/p>\n<p>Non-knitting isn&#8217;t all bad. I have plenty of time to think about knitting, imagine all the wonders I&#8217;ll create, and yet I don&#8217;t\u00a0 have the hassle of making mistakes, frogging, and just plain giving up. Of course, I also don&#8217;t have the joy in finishing a project and all that goes along with it like the excitement of starting, the tiredness of staying up for just one more row&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In short, I haven&#8217;t given up on knitting but I have decided that a pile of wool in my lap on a ninety degree day is less than appealing. Yes, I considered using cotton, but still, it just hasn&#8217;t fit into my summer.<\/p>\n<p>So, now that summer&#8217;s on the wane, although I suspect we have plenty of 90 degree days left, I&#8217;m just getting that inkling of interest in starting up a project. Some of my basic ones I may have mentioned before. They&#8217;re practical: I want to have a &#8220;knitting closet&#8221; to keep all my bits and bobbles organized, along with my stash (which is still small&#8211;I&#8217;ve resisted the urge to even look at yarn until I&#8217;m making an actual project); I also need my little knitting corner set up, and it&#8217;s almost there.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;d like to unearth my digital camera so\u00a0I can keep adding pics to this blog. Sometime during our move it went missing and we&#8217;ve yet to find it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not wanting to wish the summer away, but I am looking forward to cooler weather. Happy knitting!<\/p>\n<p>BTW, if anyone has tips on making a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knitty.com\/ISSUEwinter06\/PATTcalorimetry.html\">calorimetry<\/a> with a Knifty Knitter, please send me ideas!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It just figures I&#8217;d go and be typical&#8230; when it&#8217;s cold, I knit.
