Knitting CV
Prague Loop
A knitting CV
Born in Prague in 1974.
Started knitting and crocheting at about 7, stopped at about 11. Re-started crafting in 2009 when 35 years old, loving it ever since.
The internet has helped this a lot (i was moved by articles on guerilla knitting as well as visiting websites such as ravelry and knittaplease which blend the newest tehcnology with the traditional crafting).
Taking part in collective projects (Stitches On The Bridge, The Jonkoping Letter Archive) as well as knitting for friends and being on Etsy and other sites. Blogging about the experience since 2009.

how fast the internet is
i really do love how fast the internet is.
this afternoon, i have discovered the project of a swedish museum: they collected letter from fan scarves(!), turned them into knitting patterns, and are asking people to knit those and send them to the museum. it is an internet experiement i grew curious about, so i cast on upon coming home, and knitted and "e". it does look sporty and retro.
took a pic of it, sent it to the discussion group of the project. worked on something else, came back, and saw that the person responsible for it already put the photo to the news page of the project (wit some nice comment) - it is at http://www.schalalala.de/news/e/ in case you are curious.
there's something heartwarming about the whole thing.
