Something Knitty

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known as Eglentyne.  I am a writer.  There, I said it.  Phew.  

This blog is one of my hobbies.  I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate.  I have too many hobbies and don't sleep enough.

I like my beer and my chocolate dark and bitter.

The title up there makes it sound like this is a knitting blog.  And it is.  Sometimes.  Ok, every once in a while.  Mostly I talk about whatever is on my mind, which is sometimes knitting, but more often is reading and writing.  Something Knitty was the name of the first novel I ever tried to write.    

I put together the images and the words on these pages with thoughtfulness and love (not to mention sleeplessness and sweat).  If you would like to quote small passages, please feel free to do so as long as you attribute them to me and link back to this site.  If you would like to repost large sections or whole posts, please contact me for permission and verification.  I can be reached via Twitter (@eglentyne) or by email (eglentyne at gmail dot com).  

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas.  If you're not respecting intellectual property, then you're stealing.  Don't be a stealer.  Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but I really don't like thieves.
