You know you are a knitter when….
…your husband is installing a light fixture, and just needs a few washers for some screws that aren’t fitting in right, but nothing too big, and you are willing to sacrifice your extra small stitch markers to do the job so that you can get that new light fixture in!
Turns out in the end that we found some washers to do the same job, so my stitch markers are saved, but I think he was amazed that I came up with the solution and nailed (pardon the pun) the size needed so well.
Oh, and I sacrificed a little bit of Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn to help hang the fixture for a bit around his neck while he did the wiring. If it weren’t for the yarn and the stitch holders, I wouldn’t have the new lights in my half bath! ![]()

When the mud flap on my front left tire got loose and started rubbing against the tire, I used some yarn from the blanket I was knitting to tie it back into place.
Yarn is good.
Hi– the Thursday morning group is at Orpha’s– I think the official start time is 10, but these knitters run late, so if you get there at 10, and no one’s there, don’t panic. Most people were leaving by 11:30– 3 of us diehards hung out until 12:30 or so. It’s a big group– there might have been 15 of us there at once! I’m planning to go Thursday, baby permitting
