Snapshots From the Village
How happy does this make me?
So this morning I am sitting at my desk, working along in my new home office, which I happen to share with Mr. Knittiot, and I look over and see this:
Yes, that is my husband.
Yes, that is a size “H” crochet hook and some Cascade 220 in his hands.
Yes, he picked it up all on his own.
Want to see it again?
Having discovered long ago that knitting and Corvus do not mix, I was surprised when he seemed to be increasingly entranced with crocheting (which he says feels like “sketching with yarn”). At his request, we bought him some materials (some nice burnished orange lace weight from Rosie’s and some basic white Cascade 220 (for practice) from a shop in Minneapolis) and just haven’t gotten around to having a lesson for a couple of months now. But last night, we sat down with season 1 and 2 of Arrested Development and had our first lesson. Looks like its going to stick…

My crocheting techno-sweetie is now scanning in his crocheting to post on his blog.
Scanning. In. His. Crocheting.
How much do I love him?
Yes. That much.

Scanning shows how sloppy my stitches are in a way that a digital photograph simply can’t!
See?

You’re being too hard on your self — those stitches aren’t that sloppy. But I do have to admit, it was a stroke of genius, that scanning in the yarn bit. I may have to enlist your help in the future for displaying some of my work…
