Okay, for the past week I have been researching blogs. It's really sad I knew I wanted to make one for all of my knitting/spinning/whatever projects, but I wanted to see how everyone else did theirs to make sure that I did mine right.:D
In my research I found KAL and that put it over the top for me I had to have a blog and I had to have one now because I wanted to join the KAL groups. It can get lonesome out here in the Far East Bay Area my particular age group is obsessed with partying and college not many of them have any hobbies remotely resembling mine, there is no LYS and it can get a little desperate. I'm a weirdo out here. And I like it that way,.... kind of. It does suck when you are at point in a project where you don't really understand what the pattern is saying and there isn't really anyone you can talk to about help. Yes, I looked around at knitting groups but everyone is making scarfs and after that usually has no ambition towards anything more difficult. (And anyone who does have ambition I usually end up teaching) I did find a spinning group a couple cities over but I didn't have time every, Monday to drive half an hour to spend only 2 hours and then spend another hour in traffic (traffic is really bad here). Not to mention everyone in the group was two to three times my age (seriously two to three, I think the youngest one was 50). They were cool they definitely knew their stuff and I learned a lot from them the few times that I went.
Enough with my woe is me speech I'm here and I want to participate. This will be a new experience for me with as much commitment as I'm willing to put into it. (that is my favorite kind of commitment).

YOUR NOT ALONE! I'm am one of the few knitter/spinner/fluff crazed young (and quite striking) ladies of the East Bay, and taught by the best ;) Pssst! That means you
Hey I know that I just wasn't sure if I should mention you or not (you know privacy and all). But you do have to admit that we are suffering from a severe lack of other crazy people. I mean what's with that?
