Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

I have a new batch of random Google searches that led people to my blog. Maureen noted that a reference to Mary Poppins increased the number of Google referrals to her knitting blog by 70%! You guessed it – my most recent interesting arrival found me by Googling "I accidentally ate ants." Over the past couple of months people have come to Life’s a Stitch by searching for:

1. Scratch and win lottery hints

2. Li knits Nadia

3. Pregnancy stitch in ribs

4. Fizzy Stomach

5. Sharpei flesh eating disease

6. Plural for piercing

7. How to sneak alcohol into high school dance

8. A very sweet Valentine’s Day request was "How to tell someone you love them." Out of 79,000+ possibilities, Life’s a Stitch was #1 on the list.

9. There was the very polite person who asked Jeeves: I enjoy sewing but am having trouble sewing in the v neck in a scrubs top, I need help, please show written directions.

10. The one that tugged at my heartstrings making me wish there was some way to answer their search: I’m having ACL reconstruction am scared to death.

Another preemie set for the knitting Olympics was finished before the weekend:

Dsc01662

And this is installment #2 of my Fleece Artist purchase from the Yarn Coop. The colour is called Pinata. Notice how the colours take to the two yarns differently.

    You can barely see the green/yellow in the boucle. Both are beautiful though.
    I haven’t checked my googles for a while. Maybe I should do that. I never seem to actually hit #1 on anyone’s search but reading those can sure be entertainment.

    Maybe I’m not reading your blog closely enough, but I never even came close to reading anything about Sharpei flesh eating disease. Maybe I should read more closely (or between the lines?)

    Li! Put those needles down! I am not yarn!
    Also, hint to #1: First scratch, then win, then share the money with me for this great advice.
    The yarn on the right seems more muted and warmer — especially the yellow in it. It sets a different tone to the yarn.

    It is quite interesting to see what pops up on Google, I’ll type in random things at times and see what happens, on those boring days where not much is going on. I haven’t had any of those lately.
    Those premie knits are precious.

    Okay, so those are pretty funny googles. Did I miss the post on lottery hints? Cause even though I don’t play the lottery, if your hints increase my chances, I just may give it a try!

    I’m not sure how I came by your blog, but I hope that’s the Kasula yarn on the left… I’m waiting for some from my Fleece Artist #2 order. Cheers!
