Blogstalkers!

So it looks like Blogstalkers has started up again over on the Knittyboard. I've decided to join; hopefully this will force me to do regular updates and in that way I'll be able to improve my blogging skills. Our first assignment is Ode to My Knitting.
Come again?
Grad school has taken over the majority of my brain, so I need some help figuring out how to write an ode.
Um, I don't think I can do this. What I can give you, however, is a few hurried lines about knitting, scratched out on my legal pad amongst notes about a Christian Fiction book I just finished reading for my Readers' Advisory Class.
Surrounded by yarn, I am content
The colors make me happy
I knit a hat, and people seem to like it!
They marvel at what I can make, but really, it's no big thing.
Have a seat, and I'll show you how.
Then you too, can be content with yarn.
Sucks, I know, I was never good at writing poetry. But I can knit a mean hat...
