A scarf that makes sense!

I’ve compiled a list of things that make absolutely no sense:
1.)    Those little cards that fall out of magazines.  They come in your subscription copy asking you to subscribe.  What’s up with that?
2.)    Penguins.  They wear tuxedos 24/7.  Umm, why is that necessary?  Where are they going that requires formal wear?
3.)    Tuxedo cats.  They look like penguins.
4.)    Short shorts.  I don’t believe in wearing underwear in public.
5.)    People park on a driveway and drive on a parkway. 
6.)    Hot dog buns typically come in packs of 10, but hot dogs typically come in packs of 8.  So you always have those two extra buns sitting in the fridge ‘till they grow mold.  (And while we’re on that subject, green fuzz on food doesn’t make much sense either.)
7.)    High heels.  There is Absolutely Nothing sexy or dressy about being in pain every time you take a step.  (I wore TOMS shoes on my wedding day, and I’m dang proud of it!)
I decided I needed a knitting project that makes sense in order to compensate for all the silly nonsensical things in life.  Reusing stained sweaters by way of rescuing them from the landfill makes sense.  The landfill is no place for delicate, cuddly, beautiful yarn!  I hope to rescue and refurbish more stained, rejected sweaters as I come across them :).


Just for kicks, what are some other things that don't make any sense? :p

3...2...1...Liftoff!

Woohoo!  I'm doing it!  I'm finally doing it!  After months of saying I'll get around to selling my knitnax, I'm finally doing it!  I'm dorkishly excited about this.  I get to knit and babble about knitting and life and how they all come together.  What's not to like? 

There might be a few kinks while I'm still figuring things out, so please bear with me.  I'll get the hang of this the same way I'd drink a mocha: one small delicious sip at a time! 


    (I just had to throw in a picture of a knitted turtle because it's stinkin' cute if I do say so myself, and you really can't have too much cuteness. :p)
So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, I present to you, Kati's Knitnax!
