I am, too, and sometimes I'm vaguely ashamed of not tackling Hard Projects. But I work all day as a freelance editor, indexer, and proofreader, breaking my head over scholarly texts. By the time evening rolls around, I want to knit something easy that'll just leave me feeling like I'm in The Zone. Knitting then becomes a meditative activity for me. Perhaps we lazy knitters need to stand up and be counted! Hazel I’m so thrilled that you admitted to being a lazy knitter! I am, too, and sometimes I’m vaguely ashamed of not tackling Hard Projects.

(I've knit for 8-9 years, but mostly purchase yarn from Walmart, J0-Ann's, and Crafter's Warehouse--and they don't carry silk. ) I never realized what a gift it is that your business rolls the silk into balls, until getting a different ebay purchase where I had to do it myself. Wow and thank you! It took me a half hour just to roll a 100 gm bundle into a ball, which is lost knitting time. Oh, and I'm almost done with my first silk project, a knit-in-the-round custom designed to fit me 3X tank top/shell (6 skeins yarn). I can't wait!!!!!! Hi Nicole
