I must confess that last night I cheated on the knitting world. My first passion and love and I cheated. I had this other life ya know, and it called to me and I couldn’t resist… Most of you don’t know about my other love. I have another addiction almost as bad as the fiber one. But only because it is so much more expensive. I have a scooter problem. Yes, a scooter problem. I have owned several, including a vintage Vespa smallframe named Mario (seen here in orange). I went to “scooter rallies” on the weekends and rode with folks from across the country. I did all kinds of crazy things in the name of scooter love. But then Mario went to live with a friend, and I was without a scooter for a little while. I had only time for one love…and that was knitting. Then I bought this black one (who needs a name, by the way)…and I love it too. I commute on it almost every day and it gets over 75 mpg!

Last night, my scooter family invited me to go on a ride with them to Rock Creek Park and despite the fact that it was late night at Knit Happens, I couldn’t resist the temptation and I went.

I am so sorry to have cheated on you, my dear dear knitting. I swear I do still love you more.
