Knitting Fun

Don't we all feel this way sometimes....??

A few Weeks into An hour a day.

This week folks, I did not knit an hour a day. I barely knit an hour at all...although I did start and get pretty far on a new zigzag scarf this weekend. I also worked on it while we spent time at Mr. Spot's chai house in Ballard on thursday night passing time at open mic.

I will post pictures later today. It seems to be a bad habit of mine to not take pictures of my current projects. Bad me...

How this blog got it's name...

One day at work, we were discussing possibilities for the gift shop space. (I work at a hotel south of Seattle) I jokingly mentioned that I wanted to open a yarn shop and of course we got off track brainstorming names for our hotel's new yarn/coffee/gift shop. My boss Maureen, a very wise woman said "Knit Kat's Knits" which had a certain ring to it. It made me have shivers just hearing such a great name. So, I decided a few days later to start a knitting blog and use Maureen's suggestion in her honor!

One Hour Challenge

I made some goals last week on my 32nd birthday, most of which do not pertain to a knitting blog. I did manage to make some goals regarding crafting which I write for you here:

1. Knit a sweater that I can wear.
2. Finish any projects that I start this year.


I have been thinking of a way to fit these goals in. I think one way to finish projects I start is not to start a lot of extra frivolous projects. (like the socks I started yesterday) Another way to reach this goal is to devote a certain amount of time each day to knitting. How much time would you be willing to sit down and knit? I work, and go to school, but I have time right?


So, I"m going to do it. I'm going to sit down and knit for 1 full hour a day. In addition, I"m going to blog about it. At least for the first week.

Cheers, Alsie
