Car Knitting...

July 31, 2007/ Rae Kaiser

We are in the middle of our Summer traveling. That means many weekend trips throughout the tri-state area. All three to five hours each. And anything more than one hour in the car is too much for me. So I have a new thing to keep from whining. Books on tape (the Sue Grafton series and Stephen King for John) and NPR movie reviews on my iPod and car knitting. In Summer I have to knit different things from in Winter. I can't stand to knit hot, wooly or fuzzy things in Summer. So I've been knitting chenille washcloths. It has a good Summer feel, it is all garter stitch and the needles are an 8. All good things for the car.

I am not a fast knitter and don't want to be. Knitting is a meditative thing for me. A pleasant way to pass the time. For me it is the journey not the destination.

If you are interested here is the link for the pattern, it is free. http://www.numei.com/knittingpatterns_washcloth_cm1.htm

Happy Knitting! Rae

I'm Rae. I make fonts and blog. I reside in a city on a lake but spend most of the time living in my head.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
