Here we go!

Welcome to my first blog. Well first post of this blog anyway. My name is Norsie and I am a knitter (everyone in the room says "Hi Norsie".)....and well you get the general Idea.

Really I'm quite proud of the fact that I knit, crochet and do various other crafty things. Mostly it's all for the sake of satiating my overwhelming desire to be creative while trying to figure out my life's purpose. I knit to keep myself from becoming bored and unproductive. I knit because it calms me. I knit for the sense of accomplishment. I knit because it's a great way to start a conversation with a stranger. Mostly I knit because I had a burning desire to learn to do so since I was young but only recently taught myself to do so...and I haven't been able to put the needles down since.

I think a lot of other knitters can relate.

Anyway, so I created this blog because I was working on a project the other day and a dialogue started in my head about what I was doing and what was happening at the time in my life. So, I thought it'd be a good thing to write it down and share it with other people. Simple as that. Plus I hope this opens up the door to meeting other knitters from across the web (as I mentioned above, I think knitting is a great way to start conversations with strangers).

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and sharing ideas and opinions.

Enjoy!

Norsie :)
