If You Don't Have Cable...
What better snow-bound activity than knitting? And what better place to witness it than in the South End, the apparent epicenter of all things crafty in Boston? Here's an action shot of my friend Joy deftly pulling together a red-orange miten with three separate needles. The one and only time I've ever tried knitting, the product was a dust-covered ball of yarn reluctantly attached to a meager clump of knots and chopsticks, stuffed under the bed to be continued "tomorrow." Suffices to say, it's not exactly my bag, but it's always intriguing to watch how people can get the stitching right even when they are distracted with other things. I watch people doing this in the bus, while talking, and once - even during a meeting at work! Joy tells me she's hoping to complete this to post it on: Ravelry.com, which is a knitting community website that allows you to share ideas and (clearly)motivates you to finish projects.
