"This doesn't look like knitting to me."
"Yeah, that is definitely Not Knitting."
"What exactly is she doing this year, Chocula Chip?"
I bought a punch needle set up back in 2020 and have never gotten brave enough to even take it out of the box. I did read the book, which is very good and also charmingly written, but the two different size needles are still in their boxes and the monk's cloth is still suffocating in it's plastic bag.
I love hooked rugs and enjoyed making a kit I bought years ago, but I didn't enjoy acquiring and storing wool fabric for future projects so I handed it all off to Auntie Reg. Robin and Andy started making punch needle frames a few years ago and I watched Robin working on a rug using yarn during a zoom call and thought, hmmm, I'm already good at acquiring and storing yarn...
For the Iknitarod this year I am going to unpack all the boxes and bags, learn how to use the tools, draw a pattern, dye the yarn and make a rug. In Iknitarod spirit my pattern will be my 2019 ravatar with Biscuit and Muffin looking up at Mrs. Pepperpot (and all our other friends) in the stars.
The Iknitarod starts today with the ceremonial start for the Iditarod. This is my ninth year. I can't wait!
