Some of you know I like to knit.
“Like” is a mild word for it. I’m obsessed.
Well, I’m at the perfect place for obsessed knitters–Stitches West 2008. It’s a 4 day knitting conference, this year held in Santa Clara at their convention center. Yes, a knitting convention. What do we do? Listen to speakers, take knitting classes, and most of all shop for yarn, yarn, and more yarn. I have to be careful on the shopping. Very careful. I plan to stay out of the Market as much as possible.
Meanwhile, I get a nice room at the Hyatt Regency and I get to relax. I’m not writing for About.com, so I plan to write only my own creative stuff.
Knitting feeds creativity. It is creative, for one thing, it promotes quiet thinking, and the use of color stimulates the brain. I bet you didn’t know that!
What do you do to refuel your batteries when you’re exhausted like I am?
