knitting rhymes?

who's got knitting rhymes?

i found one at chicknits*

In through the front door
Around the back
Out through the window
And off jumps jack.

ok so i imagine anyone who ever read this blog (all two of you) gave up a long time ago.

well, i've decided its time to start up again. mostly cause i'm knitting almost daily now and i'm starting to teach some other knitters. and i'm always inspired by many other blogs - wendy's (of course) and curlnsandpurlsnyc and chic knits among the ones i read daily... not that i have a digital camera yet - but maybe soon.

anywho, between now and the weekend i'll try to catch up on my knitting life...such as it was... this past year. basically i worked way too much last year and, well, let's just say it didn't pay off. so "less is more" is my new motto regarding worklife.

here's a tidbit of knitting news - there has been a change in my knitting group at work - instead of after work (its way too cold this winter in nyc to stay late), we are starting to meet at lunch time - and it seems to be much more popular. although way too short for my liking, but, with my new motto of taking lunch every day - any time is knitting time is fine by me.

ok off to grab a bite and then to the New York City Ballet for the Centennial Birthday celebration of Balanchine!
