You clicked the “About” link because, presumably, you wish to know more about The International Knitter of Mystery. Of course, the more you know about me, the less Mysterious I become. And what is life without a little mystery? I do not plan to write about my job, my family (except when they intercept or prevent my knitting directly), my locality, or the weather. I plan to blog about knitting, reading about knitting, and thinking about knitting. I hope to make you laugh (or at least smile), and point you toward Cool Knitting Stuff. I will tell you what else makes me happy, so that you can decide whether reading what I write might make you happy.
Knitting, of course, is a gimme.

What makes me International, you ask? This is Teh Interwebs, so we’re all International, ducks. I am on Ravelry. I am on Facebook. But you don’t know who I am <insert evil laugh here>!
I do not Tweet.
