New blog.

Welcome to my new blog. How cheesy is that? I guess for post #1 I should do a little introductions. My former blog was http://ladyknitsalot.blogspot.com/ My name is Whitnee. I am addicted to fibery things. I have been knitting since about 2000 or 2001. Ok that is a stretch. I taught myself to knit then, but really didn't fall in love with knitting until probably 2004 or 2005. I also learned to spin (kinda) in 2006. I have been spinning nonstop since probably the beginning of 2009 though. For a long time I was kind of alone in the knitting world. Obviously this was because I was hiding under a rock because there are so many knitting resources out there that I was just previously unaware of. Believe it or not I hadn't even heard of Ravelry until just several months ago. Alright well I really don't know many people that knit around here anymore. I co-founded a SNB locally, but I kind of went through some schedule changes and some different priorities in my life so after a year and a half I had to stop going. I have tried to go to another group that meets at a more convenient time for me, but I really like to spend weekday evenings with my husband so I don't usually go. Especially because a month ago today his oldest son passed away. So right now I need to be with him as much as I can. My husband is my best friend in the entire world and we enjoy spending time together. We would one day like to open up a yarn shop of our own. He wants to start designing wheels. Especially painting them. He will be painting mine soon! : ) That makes me very happy! Just as soon as he finishes (or even STARTS) painting the motorcycle parts that are laying on my kitchen counter. Smells like gasoline in there because of the fuel tank.
Lets see what other boring things can I think to tell about myself.... My favorite color is orange, however I really love all colors. Like I said I am a fiber enthusiest. I am a vegetarian. I just stopped liking meat about 10 years ago and no matter how much I would like to eat it, I just can't bring myself to do it. I love to read, though I rarely make time for it. I love to walk. Although I have quite a bit of music on my iPhone, I listen to knitting podcasts while I am walking. Usually Stitch It!! Podcast. Not that I don't listen to others. It is just that that one and The Knitmore Girls seem to be the correct lengths for my walks! And they are two of my favorites. The whole podcast thing is another thing that I am new too. But let me tell you the underside of that rock I was hiding under was really nice and cozy. Hee Hee. I also have a sweet little Yorkie girl named Maddie and a handsome little black cat named Jack. Since I have no kids on my own, and no intentions of having any, they are my babies. I am currently living in Northwest Arkansas. I am from Texas and will always claim that as home no matter where I live. However, my dear hubby and I are getting ready to take an exploratory trip to Florida because we want to move there. I have family there and we would be closer to my hubby's family. It will be wonderful. And there is that beach thing. I love that idea.
