So I have joined the 21st century and created a blog. I don't know how much I'll be posting or what I'll be chattering about yet, but I know I'll cover a lot of knitting projects, a lot of whatever I'm up to, a bit of whatever's on my mind.
So first rambling topic, the source of my blog title:
1 - I knit. A lot. Not as much as I'd like to, but I do have to go to work at some point, so as to support the yarn habit.
2 - I love penguins. Since I was in high school swimming competitively, I've had a good luck stuffie shaped like a penguin (inspiration: Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester - check it out). Once I started running, the penguin gained additional meaning from John Bingham's column in Runner's World. I, too, run slowly like the aquatic animal on land.
Hence, the penguins. Love 'em.
3 - The two came together when I saw the work of JGoode and his line of The Penguin drawings, including one knitting, of course! Adorable!!
Though, how he knits without thumbs, I'm not sure....
And thus was born, The Knitting Penguin!
And now off to pack for the Thanksgiving whirlwind family visits. Until later!
