Where my knitters at? This design (and sticker in my Etsy shop) is for us: in honor of dropped stitches, knots, and people talking to us while we’re trying to count.

My mom taught me to knit when I was in high school and I wanted to make myself a Harry Potter scarf (Slytherin, though I’m definitely a Ravenclaw). I only knew one stitch, did not understand anything about gauge or different types of yarn. It was HUGE and ridiculous but I was proud!
Years later, my dear, incredibly talented coworker Cathy introduced me to more advanced wonders of knitting like cables and deliciously fancy . I’ve enjoyed making baby blankets for my daughters, little cardigans, hats, one pair of socks (maybe I’ll tackle another pair some day, but turning heels is terrifying), sweaters and gauntlets.
Right before covid hit my group of knitting coworkers and I all knit colorwork sweaters together. It was my most challenging and rewarding knitting project so far! I’m so glad I finished it back in February when we still had time to all wear them together before Covid temporarily shut down our workplace and resulted in some of us (myself included) losing our jobs. I miss you so, my Tuesday Lunch & Knit friends!
