I am a self taught knitter who has been knitting for just under a year now, but the pattern and yarn bug hit me HARD. I have been crafting with cross-stitch, sewing, and the like since I was very young. If it was something that I could learn, relieve stress, and produce something in the end, I am more than willing to try it.
I have come to extremely enjoy knitting as an escape from my constant work on the computer as well as a the nice social tool that this craft can be. No place is off limits either-- restaurants, road trips, etc. I have been known on more than one occasion to knit in class. Hell, I will even knit on a cliff ;) (I am trying my best to bring in the next big outdoor sport: 'Knit-Hiking'- but my knit night group isn't having any of it)
Not everything is all fun and crafts though... I am doing the work/education thing and that also comes with its own set of project funness. This is the part that is actually causing me to craft more due to the stress of everything. It's a vicious cycle... I need to get into my research and kick some of the stress out of that so that I can hit those projects headstrong.
At the end of the day Procrastination still seems to be king and instead of doing work on any projects I am writing this silly thing :-P. I'm new to this whole blog thing, so we will just have to see where this funness goes. :)
