I'm having a 'love my weekend job' day. I keep saying it: One of the best parts of doing Knit Together is preparing the people stories. Oh, sure, getting to do book reviews and yarn reviews are fun in their own rights and ways, but being able to tell the 'back stories' of knitters is an honour and a blessing.
Yesterday I worked on the designer feature for the next issue, and this morning, I received an e-mail back from this issue's Canadian Knitter with incredible information about herself. I've wanted to get together with this person for years -- I've had an inkling that she's an interesting knitter and what she has told me is gobsmack-ingly cool. I hope I do the piece the justice it deserves!
So, while technology upset my day last weekend, this weekend I'm blessed with wonderful information about two more interesting knitters in this great land.
In the rush of day-to-day doings, we don't often pause to take stock of all that we are. But, if we take some time and just think about all the different things we've done in our lives, we get an opportunity to feel good about who we have become. It's also an opportunity to be grateful for the things, good and bad, that have molded us into who we are today.
Every one of us has done something interesting in his or her life. Every one of us has a story in us. For too long, these stories have gone untold.
In this post I urge every reader to sit down, look back, write it down, and feel good about yourself. Then send it to Canadian Guild of Knitters so we can tell your story. Oh, and while you're at it, send a photo!
