I love it when I get that tingly feeling that “something was meant to be.” I have a lot of passions this day. When I say passion, I am not being over-expressive. Obsessions might be a better word. Anyway, as you probably know, if you read this blog, I love to knit. I started knitting about two and a half years ago. Very seldom do I take to something like this….but, I LOVE it. I have to knit everyday or my day is just not complete.
Let me set the scene. I started knitting and the first thing I did was purchase knitting books to feed my book obsession. Then I started blogging to feed my writing obsession. The blogging led to podcasts which to me to the CMP. Amy on the CMP knits and then thus I began listening to knitting blogs. I took several weeks last summer in the mountains just me and the babies so I ran out of knitting blogs so I googled writing blogs and thus discovered Writers on Writing by Barabra DeMarco-Barrett. I listened to almost all of her back episodes…and there are a lot. She talks about her book Pen on Fire so I bought the book and read it. Now, I keep up with her Pen on Fire blog.
So, imagine the excitement when I logged on to Ravelry today and glanced at the list of new groups. I saw a group called Knitters Who Write. I decided to check it out. I almost turned away and then I decided to check out the moderator. Her website is knittingonfire.blogspot.com….and I thought, what a rip off. (I know, I know…the name of my blog came from the title of the book, but what can I say.) She totally ripped off Barbara’s book title. I read on, and it is Barbara DeMarco-Barrett. I am such a dork….I know. But, I am a fan, what can I say. I shot her a quick message and added her as a friend and the group to my ever growing list.
My universe seems to all be coming together now. :)
