Scratching the Knitting Itch

We celebrated with the Lower Hutt Knitters group, some champagne, and plenty of knitting.

It is rather surreal to finally have something tangible and space-occupying. Four months ago I sat in my Uncle’s lounge on a steamy Kuala Lumpur evening and told him all about my grand plans for the future. He was one in a long list of people i’ve regaled with my dreams of wool, colour and fulfilment. Every time the words were said aloud, there was always that niggling thought questioning if it will actually happen.

And here it is.

7 and a half great boxes of sock wool.

Happy New Year everyone! I’ve decided to put the Knitsch Yarns blog over here on blogger so that comments may be shared – it all gets a bit boring if one can’t interact on a blog.

I saw in the New Year with a bunch of wonderful friends at Waitarere beach, while Sonja was enjoying it in the Napier sunshine. 2009 was an amazing year for me, and I was sad to say farewell. 2010 has plenty of reasons to be excited – our giant wool order arrives in a few weeks, we’re doing some special work on Margaret Stove’s lace weight, and there’s even a few travel plans in the mix. 

My hope for this blog is to share patterns, tasty things, beautiful things, and everyday things. Because that is what it’s all about, really.
