Okay, I admit it might seem like a simple question… but I travel a lot and see all of these people on their devices. ALL the time. Pulled in every direction but home. That takes a toll. And I know that knitting is a great way to center oneself and quiet the jangle… A lot of very high powered women knit to ease stress, as a practice, like yoga. But why don’t more men knit? Is it really just societal norms? Anyways… what is this cowboy making? Kinda’ fun to think about… Snow Princess visits Yarns in the Farms!December 21st, 2009 by tink…and she is wearing lovely handknits: Schaefer sweater, Blue Sky Alpaca hat and mittens, Green Mountain Spinnery scarf-belt, and a crochet apron-skirt.

Texan inspiration: Cheyenne to MassachusettsJuly 17th, 2009 by tinkTink and Wink are back from the deep cool canyons and wide hot beaches of Texas… We taught many a cowgirl the art of the needles… down there they knit on horse back as they mosey along the long lonesome trail. (Although I can’t find a single photograph. Sorry. You know I ain’t lying.) On our adventures, we met this young lady under the fishing pier in Port Aransas, on Mustang Island. Her name is CHEYENNE and she collects sea creatures and sets up a museum for passers by, while her dad surfs and her brother fishes. She is a wealth of information and a true inspiration. Imagine intarsia knitting with these colors and designs!
