Pay It Forward
Ok, ok, I've given in to peer pressure.
The idea of PIF, in case you haven't already read it on a million other blogs:
“The idea of the exchange is I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on this blog post requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet, and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.”
I highly doubt it will be socks. Ok, so maybe it will be socks. We'll see. It may not even be knitting - I have a few other less known crafty hobbies. ;)
Now, as for me and the knitting? Well I went to NYC this weekend for a concert and brought my camera and *not* the memory card (laptop card readers are evil, EVIL I tell you!). Yeah, so that was kinda dumb. So no pictures.
I went to The Point on Saturday afternoon for some knitting and coffee, and today was mostly spent navigating many forms of transit to get myself home in the snow. But here I am!
Amazingly I didn't buy any yarn - I was tempted but the two things I wanted to purchase were a no-go. I wanted some Karaoke, but they only had two skeins of each of the two colors that I liked and I wanted 3 or 4 to make a scarf.
I wanted to buy some cool hand-dyed sock yarn that they had, but the only colors there were green and brown. :(

I've been holding off a while to, but int he spirit of the season (goodwill etc.) I'm going to Pay It Forward to. It is such a great idea and a great way for me to practice my sewing skills and make bags for everyone.
I love the PIF idea!
I also love Broken, but that's another issue altogether ;)
I, too, think the Pay It Forward idea is great. I think I can make three things in 365 days, that isn't too much pressure for me!
I'm always a day late and a dollar short... :(
