Welcome!

Perhaps you're like me. Perhaps you find joy and amazement in the simple fact that you can take 2 sticks (or 3 or 4 or 5) and some yarn and create something durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps, like me, you are not such a girlie-girl. Okay, I'll admit it. I do wear a dress on occasion. Even some makeup at times.

But when it comes to knitting I find myself scouring the Internet for an item that speaks to me, and it takes time. Sometimes a long, long time. There seems to be a plethora of designs meant for a sensitive woman, one who might ride horses bareback in the country or on the beach. One who drinks tea and stares at cozies fondly while writing poetry in the fog. A woman who pulls up her boots to feed the pigs, but keeps her long blond braid from getting soiled by tucking it into her lovely lace cowl. One who... you get the idea.

I am not that women. Designs that speak to me tend to be more androgynous. They tend to work well with darker colors, look more urban, and don't scream "I am handmade! Look at me, someone knitted me!" They tend to blend casually into my wardrobe. They tend to be functional. If you're like me, welcome. My intent here is to pull designs I like from the Internet and put them all on one page, so that you, dear reader, do not have to do the work yourself. Taking hours in the yarn store touching and smelling yarn to find the right one is fun. Staring at a computer screen and scrolling through pages of text is not. So get your knickerbockers on and pull out your needles. It's time to knit.
