Orientation


Welcome! The internet has, to offer you (are you sitting down?), Yet Another Knitting Blog.

I know, right? Talk about adding to an overwhelmingly filled niche.

And, man. Let me tell you that trying to name this flipping blog was ridiculous. Every single idea I had was obviously not all that original, since the name was undoubtedly taken. (So sad that procrastiknitter was not available. Sniff, sniff.) So I settled on what you see above: The Slightly Witty Knitter.

Am I witty? Maybe slightly. Maybe not at all. But heck, I am a knitter, and witty just sounds so good with knitter, so true or not, I snatched that sucker right up.

Onwards and upwards!

Here is the project that's currently on my needles (well, there are others on needles too, but I don't feel like working on them so I am not thinking about them. La la la la, fingers in ears, la la).



What we have here: Sugar Bubbie's Sleuthing Hoodie on size 7 needles, using Mosaic Moon's Cestari fine yarn in the Dragon Moon colorway. I am making size 4/5 for my younger son, which is currently the largest size the pattern offers. If it turns out well, and is completed by July, I would love to make one for my older son, too. So, here's hoping size 7/8 is available soon.

The yarn is beautiful, and very durable. The colorway is just gorgeous.


Pics to come after I've made more progress. Thanks for stopping by!
