a stitch in my side

I'm doing my Masters in Chemical Engineering and trying not to spend my entire paycheck on yarn.

NaKniCroMo Day 1 / 2: Goals, and Meet the Knitter!

Is it March already? Time flies when you’re knitting too much having fun! My name is Christopher, and I’ve been knitting for about 5 years! Outside of knitting, I’m a graduate student in Chemical Engineering, and I am a competitive marital artist! 

I have no self control, and have about 10 WIPs that have been sitting in my basket and shaming me for months. So my goal for this month is to not cast on any new projects, and to finish 5 of my outstanding ones! We’ll see how it goes!

Knitting is such a weird combination of precision and winging it like this is supposed to be relaxing but there is also a small twinge of anxiety.

i’m so jealous of fiber artists who can do one project at a time - I’m over here with 7 WIPs and trying to talk myself out of buying yarn for another one I want to start this afternoon...

a weekend in boston means a weekend of exploring local yarn stores! from an amazing locally dyed gradient pack to hand spun unprocessed baby alpaca yarn, i can’t wait to knit up these amazing finds!
