I love how nonchalantly knitters talking about knitting. As in, "I just knit this scarf over the weekend." They make it sound so simple, and I know why now. Because if they trick you into thinking it's simple then you're probably going to try it. And if you try it, you're going to get hooked. And if you get hooked you're going to spend an entire weekend of nap-times and car trips to create this:
which may just look like a bowl, but which isn't. It is a Knit bowl, which means, as I think any knitter would agree, that it's not "just" anything (wink). And it felt nice to knit it. So nice, in fact, that I broke out the needles again.
