Sexy Men Who Knit
http://www.auntpeaches.com/2013/01/sexy-men-who-knit.html
Let’s be clear on this: I do not knit.
Lots of my friends knit. I like knit wear. I like knit people. For me, mere knowledge of someone’s knitting ability will spark my interest in them as a friend. I like people who knit almost as much as I like people with cats. And that is a lot. On the rare occasion I should meet someone who enjoys knitting and cats, they are instantly recruited into a special club of my own creation, complete with hats and secret handshakes. A club so special, so exclusive, nobody knows of its existence except for me. And you. And all the other crazy cat ladies wearing rainbow-plush eyelash yarn scarves that would put Bill Cosby to shame. We are the Free Masons of homespun craft goods. I could get cut out just for talking about it on the internet. Shhhh….
Did I mention we have hats?
But, you guys. I know you guys. I know there are knitters out there in my silent reader rough. Perhaps you haven’t joined my secret club yet, but believe me, I know what you like. You like chocolate. You like crafts. You like cats. You like sexy men who knit.
Let’s talk about it.

We have "socks" on some of our chair legs (purchased). I have looked at them & thought they wouldn't be hard to make. These look pretty simple & you could change the colors - dark brown sock, light brown paw; black sock, gray paw .... whatever suits your fancy & matches your furniture.
Thinking HARD about doing a cross stitch wedding sampler. I bought the cloth, thread, & pattern quite a few years ago & never made it up. I’ve done a lot of cross stitch (including wedding samplers) in the past, so I have the skills .... but I also know it’s going to be a lot of work. It doesn’t look too bad until you see the actual chart - tons of ‘outline’ stitch. There are also beads; however, I think French knots in place of beads would work just fine. It is beautiful & would suit the couple I have in mind - would be given to them on their 10th anniversary. Getting motivated is the hard part, but it’s ‘on my mind’ & I’m getting to the point where working on it is the only thing that will get it off my mind.
The particular pattern is the 4th from the left - has wedding bells on top & says “Our Wedding”.
