New Year, new hobby. Knitting.

I know what you're all thinking, but this one isn't going to be like the clarinet, ballet, scrap-booking, comics, ice-skating, swimming, the guitar, the brownies or any of the other "practice" hobbies.

This one's for keeps, like Everton and acting.

So far this year I've made one and a bit scarves (yawn-o-rama) and spent about £50 on supplies for future projects.

Lots of my friends think i've aged before my time, and they may well be right, but i say "Screw You!". Which is why I don't have many friends.
Starting was pretty easy, I got the hang of knitting and purling and whatnot which is all you really need to be a scarf maker. There's a whole lot of things I don't understand, and I just skip over those bits. Like slipping stitches off rows to make it neat. How is that neat? That's just bits missing.
The way I see it, freestyling leads to unique "pieces", which I can then sell on e-bay for a gazzillion poounds.

I guarranteeeee that by 2010, I'll be some sort of scarf seller. If I can find a wool shop in London that doesn't suck. John Lewis is SO expensive, it's not even funny and the one next to me is run by a crazy.

My next project is a wicked cool beanie hat and a tote bag that looks like grass. Don't worry, i'll keep you all posted on how they go. Whether you like it or not...
