Knitter as badass? You bet. I know smart gals who ski, climb, hike, run, cook, garden, drink wine, and knit. You heard me - they knit. I picked up knitting in early 2004. Many friends and family have received some form of hand-knitted accessory from me since. It is a great way to kill time in airports, on airplanes, during roadtrips (when you aren't driving) and after skiing. The selection of colors and textures for yarns today is overwhelming - hence I covet.
