I like to knit. The end. Ok, maybe not the end. For some people, "knitting" conjures up an image of an elderly woman in a rocking chair diligently working away on an afghan or hideous sweater for an unsuspecting grandchild. So, when people find out that I like to knit, the response is usually, "Really?" Yes, really. I don't generally make afghans or sweaters (my two attempts at sweaters took one year each and resulted in a garment for some person who has a very short torso but freakishly long arms).
What I do make are awesome hats! These are not your typical stocking hats, though I can make those. I make hats that embody more than, "Man, it's cold and I really wish I had something to put on my head." I create hats with awesome colors that embody vibrancy, creativity and individuality. An ear flap hat with peace signs on the ear flaps? Done. A turquoise and brown striped close fitting cap complete with a tab and button? Piece of cake. How about a neon green and maroon slouchy tam? Beat you to it.
Who says hats have to be boring? Knitting does not have to be your grandmother's past time. It can be fun and funky and a way to let your individuality shine. Knitting awesome and creative things has become my personal revolution. Let boring go out with the trash this week. Here's to the Revolution!
