Clickety-Clack
Remember the birthday card and what I said about knitting myself a
scarf? Well, you won’t believe what I stumbled across (press 'play' below) …and the deep self-analysis
it’s caused me! I swear, it’s an allegory about calmly-crazed me. Perhaps I should get a haircut (figuratively, at least).
Just kidding. It’s all good. If it’s not the knitting needles, then it’s the scissors – or the sketchbook, or the sewing machine, or the computer. There’s always something else to fidget with. Clickety-clack, clickety-clack, clickety-clack… the soundtrack of my life.
I thought you might relate ☺













Maybe a hair scarf like hers? Eeeeew!

I saw this a couple days ago, hilarious!

That is apsoluty funny. I was watching it and my kids came in we had to watch it again we all got a great laugh. Then they all said it reminded them of me. Straight from one project to the next with out almost a heartbeat inbetween. that was just what I needed today after fighting with my computer for 12 hours yesterday when My blog had a slight ( understatement ) crash. I had to rebuild almost the entire thing. UGH!!!!
Thank You for that it was Great

Maybe, I am tooo deep, but I saw how true it is with more than just a need for a haircut....like my obsessions.....or how i go from one project to the next.....or the vicious cycles we put ourselves into......and right now ,the stages we go through...

I don't even knit and I felt like immediately going out to buy lots and lots of yarn. Super cute video!

I can relate to that! I'm always hopping from one project to the next...sometimes organized, and sometimes a bit of chaos!
Thank you for the animation link; it was so very cute.

Hey Heather. Have you read the Yarn Harlot?
Posted by: Kim H | September 29, 2006 at 08:33 PM
I know, I posted that video on my blog last week and I still go back to watch it. It's so eerie and hypnotic! Click-clack, click-clack, clickety-clack. Too bad my needles aren't as fast as hers (or am I missing the point, haha)!

This little video is so funny and SO me. I can't even relax - EVER - I don't even plan on watching TV unless I can iron something or cut something out. My little boys and my hubby enjoyed watching. Thanks!
I look forward to getting some of your gorgeous fabrics at my local quilt shop soon!
