why I started knitting. again

After finishing university last year, almost a year ago exactly, I was bored. Bored bored bored, and I don't like tv much, so that was out. I'd lost my writing mojo, and I couldn't think of anything to read.

After a very brief crocheting experiment I turned to knitting. I sort of knew how to knit, but not really. It worked out alright. I made a scarf and a half. Then summer started in earnest and it was really too hot to knit. I live in Australia, it gets hot. Spent most of the autumn, winter and spring being rather bored. Did some gardening, considered buying a guitar, actually bought a sewing machine, finally asked sister what she wanted for herself in pregnancy present (thinking I'd do something with newly purchased sewing machine). Answer: socks.

I don't know how to knit socks (well, I'm on my 6th sock so I know a little by now). I went to the yarn store to buy stuffs for it. Lady at the shop told me about Ravelry. I went on Ravelry. I loved Ravelry. Now I'm knitting. Properly this time. You wont be able to drag me away.

Now I don't knit because I'm bored. Now I knit because I like love it.

(and I have finished that scarf)
