You are "turbo" charged.a
Fast moving and classy, you get things done with
power and grace. Your expensive tastes can be
deceiving, since what you really value is
quality and efficiency. As you're careening
around those corners in life, finishing a dozen
knitted objects each month, stop and smell the
roses. Don't miss the beauty of process!
What kind of knitting needles are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Wow, for once I actually came out as my favorite! (I'm mohair?! I hardly ever knit with mohair!) And it sort of makes sense. I do have expensive taste (see below), and I have been pretty product-oriented of late. I just took a knit-for-hire job for a designer, and have to do some lace on small needles pretty quickly. The pattern is lovely, though, and I don't think very difficult, and the yarn is cashmere. And we all know how much I love cashmere...
Yes, I bought yet another cone of bulky cashmere from School Products. But I've been receiving so many compliments on my purple cashmere sweater, and this wine color just called out to me. So I had to have it. I must be stopped! I'm planning on making another sweater in a similar shape as the first one (center cable opening out into a V-neck), but with a different stitch pattern this time. But first I have to do the paid work (so I can afford the cashmere) and finish Scott's sweater. His is not going as fast as mine did, since he's a lot bigger than me, and the cable pattern on his has twists on every right side row rather than every 14th row like mine.
I've been interested in the discussion on Annie's blog about the lack of decent pay or credit for knitted samples for publications. I was talking with Teva Durham about this yesterday as it happens, and with someone else recently as well. Someone pointed out that in quilting magazines they do give credit to all the people who worked on it ("pieced by..." etc.) How can we make this standard in the knitting industry as well? Start a letter-writing campaign? I mean really, how hard would it be to add one line somewhere, "Knitted by so-and-so"? As one commenter wrote on Annie's blog, throw them (us) a freakin' bone!
On this sunny Saturday, I'll be staying indoors working on my submissions. Wish me luck and creativity!
Hello Ms Turbo charged! Wassup for this weekend? Wanna hang out?

I can't help but fall for these quizzes. I turned out to be interchangable, but I love my Turbos best.
