Why we shall blog

Hi, I am Kate. 

Hi, I’m Joanna.

We are sisters and, even though we often get mistaken for twins, we are almost three years apart, but that doesn’t stop us from being pretty closely knit. The last four years have been a little rocky (we won’t go into that here ... at least not at this time), but through it all there have been two hobbies that have kept us sane: knitting and reading. 

Reading has been a lifelong love, or perhaps addiction. Knitting is the new drug on the block. She is seductive, luring us away from books.

So we decided that we needed a way to be accountable to both, a way to contribute to the community of addicts, helping others admit and come to terms with their addictions .... and possibly... convert a few more along the way. 

There is no 12 step program, only acceptance and the pursuit of balance. 

In this space, we will share our stories, our projects, and our reading endeavors in pursuit of that balance.

Shall we begin?

Hello, my name is Kate. I judged a debate tournament today and went armed with three books, two knitting projects, and snacks.

Hello, my name is Joanna. Today I read about baking, baked. Meanwhile, was judged harshly by the pile of books and knitting by the couch. Oh, and my wheel, Mabel. I spin too. Because two addictions just aren’t enough.
