Struggling and stranded knitting

I don't think it is too strong a statement to say I hate purling in stranded knitting. Hate it.
I think I'm going to try switching to knitting backwards on the purl rows. I'm pretty proficient at doing it so we'll see how it goes. I have never tried doing it while changing colors but it has got to be easier than this. Blah.

I made a short video of me knitting backwards:

 

This is a great skill to have in your repertoire especially for things like short rows or entrelac.

I am filled with knitty giggles over this

 

 

I am a sucker for stop motion. Add knitting to the mix and I am just a mess.

Listening in on an interview with Gary Vaynerchuk

I love this guy. He is loud and intense, but inspiring. Check him out at garyvaynerchuk.com.

Crush it, baby!

Thank you Rich German for setting it up.

Hiding things from myself

Don't you hate it when you "put something away" and you put it away so well you dont remember where you put it? I've got some test knitting to do and I can not for the life of me find my knitting needles. I have turned this house upside down and it is making me feel a little loco. My knitting needles are mocking me.

I think this medication is making my brain fuzzy. Or I'm just getting old. Whatever.
