CC's Spot: Gardening Advice from a Man Who's Very Scared of Plants

My Knitting Scout Badges

The "Proselytize Knitting" Badge - I often knit if public places. And I am decidedly not hip!

MacGyver Badge (Level One) - I've used the following as stitch markers: rubber band, paper clip, hair tie; I've cut yarn with nail clippers;

MacGyver Badge (Level Two) - I've used a lighted knitting needle as a flashlight and a knitting needle as a hair pin (it keeps a french twist in place in a pinch). I'm sure there are other times. I just can't think of them!

"I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess" Badge - Well, I'm not a math wiz, but I can substitue yarns without a reference guide, I can space increases and decreases evenly and even use math in my knitting projects. So, there.

Knitting Whilst Under the Influence Badge - Yes, I have knitted while drinking a wine cooler. Shame on me.

Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention Badge (Level One) - Okay, maybe this one hasn't been completely earned, but I've come close. While I haven't been to a doctor, I have the beginnings of Carpal Tunnel in both wrists from knitting & crocheting. I've received blisters, pin/needle pricks, lacerations from my knitting needles, bruises, stiff neck & shoulders. Not to mention that all that sitting hasn't helped my weight or the early stages of fibro!

Inordinately Fond of Novelty Yarn Badge - Oooh, fuzzy yarn! I love it! Sueded, sparkly, bumpy, lumpy, stretchy - fun, fun, fun!

The sorting hat says that I belong in Hufflepuff!

Said Hufflepuff, "I'll teach the lot, and treat them just the same."

Hufflepuff students are friendly, fair-minded, modest, and hard-working. A well-known member was Cedric Digory, who represented Hogwarts in the most recent Triwizard Tournament.
