Knitting Scouts
So anyway, I've just 'joined' the Knitting Scouts and I'm claiming earnership (do you like my new word?) of the following merit badges:
Macguyver level 1:
The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.
To earn this badge I have,
- used a pen as a cable needle, and
- used string from the bottom of my handbag as stitch markers.
I Will Crush You With My Math Prowess:
The recipient has applied the principles of higher mathematics to knitting including, but not limited to hyperbolic planes, Fibonacci sequences, Klein bottles, Moebius strips, fractals and Flying Spaghetti Monster hats.
To earn this badge I have,
- knitted a scarf using the fibonaci sequence as the striping pattern, and
- knited an fsm.
Knitting Under the Influence:
This applies to both actual knitting under the influence, as well as achieving moments of stunning intellectual clarity about ones knitting under the influence. Presumes talking about knitting whilst under the influence a given.
To earn this badge I have,
- knitted under the influence.

I like pirates and I like making stuff. I was taught to sew and knit as soon as my fingers could hold the needles. It was a way of keeping me out of trouble. It was suggested that I become an engineer, so I went to see what that meant. I did a fashion degree. I did a physics degree. Now I get crafty to keep my sanity from my day job. It almost works. Here's some of the stuff I make. I also make things for other people. If you want me to make you stuff, email me.
