"Next blog..."

I'm not quite sure how Blogger delegates which blogs would be of interest to me when pressing the "next blog" function, but I was quite amused/baffled when I was sent to 6 blogs in a row written by women who are obsessed (their own words) by knitting.

This is not a hobby I have ever partaken in. Being an impatient, sloppy & short-attention spanned harpy, I don't think it is something I ever will partake in.

It could be funny to try it as a cheap alternative to buying friends/family things they actually want for their birthdays, I can see their strained little faces now: "thanks - I've always wanted a pair of knitted knobbly, half-finished, coffee stained, holey egg-coseys."

I am somewhat unconvinced of the value of many 'crafty' gifts, even if they are well made. Does anyone really need egg coseys, even if they are lovingly stitched in the shape of some cute little owls? [By the way, I didn't actually come across anyone who made these in my random blog trawl. I thought it was something silly to use as an example, but lo and behold, google provided me with proof that such things have indeed been created...]

The main craft that I adhere to, if you could call it such, is baking. But not of the pretty-little-cupcake variety - I have no skill with frippery. I like making big manly batches of banana bread, or childish concoctions of melted chocolate, fudge & biscuits. A big whack of gooey brownie is also hard to beat, although mine usually do look like they have taken a bit of a beating.

Anyway... "Next blog" please!
