Knitterly Ramblings

In my knitting world, I'm enjoying working on my Forest Canopy Shawl. I've learned to use "lifelines" in my knitting...that is a SMART thing to do, not a waste of time. I learn things the hard way. :)
This past week, I've become addicted to knitting podcasts. I can't believe I haven't used my iPod for these before now! I can even download books of the Bible, so I can have the word of God in my ear while doing housework, chores, etc. Back to knitting podcasts...I'm very new to these, but my FAVORITES are Sticks & String
and Cast On.
I also listen sporadically to CraftLit, Stash and Burn (podcasting about all things knitting and life under the weight of the stash),and She -Knits (talks about knitting, designing knits, family life (7 kids) , and balancing it all)... these free podcasts that suit my style. I subscribe to my podcasts through iTunes, so it's easy for me to use. Since no one in my family "gets" Knitting, or why I enjoy it, or enjoy touching various fibers and yarns, it's nice to have a venue to where I feel accepted and understood. I love knitting! Of course, don't get me wrong...my love for my Lord and family come first, but you know what I mean. :)
I hope to put up my projects and notebook entries (stash, WIPs, etc.) soon on Ravelry (find me as KnittyKris).
On the homefront, we're off to New England's oldest family fair...the 131st annual Deerfield Fair
On Friday, it's up to Norwich U we go, as it's Family Weekend at Son's college. He'll be home for 24 hours, and I can't wait! on Thursday. You KNOW I'll be heading to the fiber crafts, animals, and all such related areas. Oh, and for the deep fried pickles. And Kettle Corn. And Fried Dough. Enough said.
