Mathy yarn patterns are great. I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

PS. I have issues with social anxiety too. Spending a lot of time in therapy to try and deal with it. I hope you’re overcoming your anxieties too.

Nerd! (but only the very best kind)

Congrats on your impending 3-6 — I survived mine on the 6th of this month, so you’re in good company!

I’ve often told myself I should be more generous with compliments. I haven’t been good at following up on it, but thanks for the prod.

I think often we’re in critique mode, imagining we’re elevating ourselves by putting things (and sometimes people) down… “I’m such a sensitive artist that I know the band is lame, the meal is uninspired and the band is cliche…” So it takes real effort to admit “Dammit, I like that!” AND say it out loud.

I remember knowing a kid who was maybe 5 who gave you a compliment every time she saw you. Clearly her mother had been drilling her in social niceties and it was often pretty silly when she said she loved your beat up old shoes or told you that your unkempt hair looked pretty today. But she probably got a lot better at it, more genuine, and I bet people enjoy her because they feel good around her.

Hi Mandy!
Ha- I have exactly 2 pictures in mine (on my iPhone) but if you want to see a ton of roller derby pictures of me and my teams my flickr id is Burnin Helen -!
Looking forward to the new knitty then! I can’t wait!!
I do think I WILL try to do the 365 though- I had an excellent opportunity yesterday when I was running on the bike path and this TURTLE was right there- but I was running on the couch to 5k app and had no idea how to switch out, sigh. Story of my life!

yey! I’ve followed your work so this too makes me smile- plus the picture at the beginning of the post is uber-gorgeous and you should frame it and hang it in your house! (It also is compelling me to continue my project 365, which I sadly have been neglecting as of late!)
It makes me so happy to read your posts and I will be makin the dorflinger tee very soon! Continued good luck and huge successes!
