Yesterday I started a pair of Fetching Fingerless Gloves. I know it’s the most popular thing ever and I thought I wasn’t going to get sucked in, but I saw the pattern again and just WANTED to knit it. I like the design. Very fresh. Very simple. I guess it answers one of those philosophical knitting questions: Can you be a true fingerless glove knitter without making a pair of Fetching?
Yesterday I also left about half my groups on Rav. I had so many groups thay ideologically I liked but the reality of the group was boring, uneventful and unsatisfactory. I love reading, david bowie, scrabble, jeapordy, etc. I truly do. But the book club group reads trendy books I’ve either already read or have no interest in reading. The david bowie group hasn’t said anything in months. There are some things you only have a certain amount of things to say: I love crosswords. Me too. Me too. Any crossword knitting patterns? Three. Nice, but no thanks. Ok, now what are we going to talk about? So I’ve said no thank you to these groups. Maybe I’ll check them out from time to time, but I feel lighter with them gone. I’m hoping to find a nice lace group to join but there are so many I’ll have to do some research to pick one or two I like!
