I Am, Therefore I Knit

The finished and unfinished projects of a twenty-something knitter: sweaters for needy kids, hats for our troops, baby booties for my local pro-life center, Christmas presents... not to mention new techniques and stitch patterns.

I knit constantly, mostly for charity. I also collect paper dolls, read a lot, play acoustic/electric guitar, and write. My Ravelry ID is telcontar.

MacGyver Level I Knitting Scouts Badge

MacGyver Level I Knitting Scouts Badge
This badge certifies that I have "demonstrated clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario"--specifically, drinking-straw stitch markers, and using a cuticle-cleaning stick, an untwisted paper-clip, and the toothpick from my Swiss Army knife for cable needles.

MacGyver Level II Knitting Scout Badge

MacGyver Level II Knitting Scout Badge
This badge certifies that I have "demonstrated clever use of a knitting tool in a non-knitting-related scenario." Specifically, opening a container of caulk with a US 2 knitting needle. Several times.

"I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess" Knitting Scout Badge

"I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess" Knitting Scout Badge
This badge is to show that I can calculate gauge changes, evenly space increases, and do all other acts and things which mathematically inclined knitters may of right do.

"Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention" Level I Knitting Scout Badge

"Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention" Level I Knitting Scout Badge
I got this badge by knitting Fun Fur on US 2 needles, resulting in tendonitis. I earned my MacGyver Level II, above, with the same needles--much more useful. I'm not aiming for any higher levels of this badge!

It is constantly assumed that when the lion lies down with the lamb the lion becomes lamb-like. But that is simply brutal domination and imperialism on the part of the lamb. It is simply the lamb absorbing the lion instead of the lion eating the lamb. --G.K. Chesterton

  • Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly. --G.K. Chesterton
  • After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you're probably dead.
