I appear to be a Knitting Adventurer

Back when I had a full-time job, I had loads of time to read the newspapers. Oh, the irony of now finding myself, as a graduate student of cultural studies, so busy that it took me a week to find out about the death of Jacques Derrida, the father of deconstruction and postmodernism! But it's not completely my fault; what surer way to be ignored than to die on the same day as Superman? We certainly can't have two obituaries on the front page on one day -- like, what a downer! -- so Derrida didn't have a chance in North America. (Hey, even Mother Teresa was overshadowed by Princess Di.) The clever, clever Guardian deconstructs the silence: "The other kind of text message."

In knitting news, and in light of the fabulous knits to be found in the Denim People book, words cannot express how excited I am to find out that plain old Patons Classic Wool has the same gauge as Rowan Denim.



You appear to be a Knitting Adventurer.
You are through those knitting growing pains and
feeling more adventurous. You can follow a
standard pattern if it's not too complicated
and know where to go to get help. Maybe you've
started to experiment with different fibers and
you might be eyeing a book with a cool
technique you've never tried. Perhaps you
prefer to stick to other people's patterns but
you are trying to challenge yourself more.
Regardless of your preference, you are
continually trying to grow as a knitter, and as
well you should since your non-knitting friends
are probably dropping some serious hints, these
days. http://marniemaclean.com
