stab, choke, drag, throw, repeat

Who knew that self defence could teach one to learn how to knit? I know, awesome right?

I was not feeling well today so a sweet friend came over bearing a bag full of goodies; raspberry tea, all the fixins for a manicure, some knitting needles and yarn. You know, food for the soul. :D

I'm not about the 'fuzzy bunnies peeking out of holes and looping around frollicking about' teaching method. It never works for me. I'm about keeping it real. So after casting off(??) you 1) Stab your attacker (insert the stick through the loop. opps not a stick, needle. it's a needle) 2) Choke the mo (wrap the yarn around the stabbing needle) 3) Drag the dude away (drag the needle and looped yarn through the first loop pulling towards you 4) Throw the punk away (slide the stitch off the cast off needle onto the new needle.) It's self defence and knitting all wrapped in one. Ta daaa.

Isn't that fun? I have until the end of October to finish this scarf for my teacher. I hope she likes it.
