My name is Syd and I started this blog today.
SO I guess I'll start with me. I am a self-taught knitter and this whole exciting hobby began for me in March 2008. It all started with a Victoria's secret bra--maybe I will tell the story later--and now I have conquered knitting challenges I would have never imagined. Cables. Magic loop. Fair Isle. Double knitting!!!
Besides my job as a teller, I participate in two knitting groups. The Knit Wits meet at the downtown Borealis coffee shop in Mason City, IA--where I live--every Thursday night. The Chix with Stix is the group for members of my church that meet once a month and I have been teaching a lot of beginners how to knit in that group.
I wanted to write this blog because I was inspired by the movie Julie & Julia when Amy Adam's character decided to write a blog about cooking. I was never interested in blogging before, but the movie showed me that it can give satisfaction of accomplishment. It seems like it is journaling in a way that it is personal and I hope it will give me that ahh-the-weight-has-been-lifted feeling.
I decided to write a blog about my love of knitting. I want to be able to funnel my abilities by helping others. Maybe someone could use a few pointers on a technique or maybe just inspiration for their own projects. This is also going to be a place I can write about my goals, dreams, aspirations and a place to celebrate my life. I am just saying...God gave me this life to do good with and I am going to celebrate that! Hopefully I will have a lot to write about and a lot to celebrate.
I definitely look forward to your comments, suggestions, and feedback. I am on Ravelry as sydOsyd so friend me if you'd like and take a gander at my projects. I'd love to see yours!
