The alphbetical order does make this easier to read. Thanks! I may even get around to doing it myself. "Grafitti Knitting" is new to me, but sounds interestingly subersive. I'm not sure what "Olympic" knitting is, all I can think of are those great Dale of Norway sweaters, but presumable that would fall under Norwegian knitting....
I took the 'Olympic' knitting to be participation in the Yarn Harlot's giant KAL last February. 'Graffiti' knitting is just another thing that I don't understand ('grok' is a better word); why leave bits of knitting strewn about the sidewalks? Well, on purpose, I mean.
It would be interesting to keep this and look back in a year. Two years ago I would never have thought I'd have 3 knitting machines. 10 years ago, I never thought I'd learn to knit socks!
funny you alphebetized it because i had just done that too. i haven't posted mine yet. it is amazing to look over and see all the things done so far.
That's something I would do - alphabetize it, I mean. I may have to do this meme, even though I said I won't do any more!
I'm glad someone did the alphabetizing, and although I swore off more memes, this one is interesting, and may yet make an appearance Chez Karin. I hope your kitty is feeling better, it's such a worry when they aren't
