Glutton for Process

Having received the newest copy of Vogue Knitting in my mailbox, I’m happy to report that there is much bi-processing of yarn to be had within its sumptuous pages. What is bi-processing of yarn inquiring minds want to know? Well, this would be the act of being able to wield sticks or hook interchangeably. Vogue Knitting and their mag geared to a younger yarn bi-processor, Knit1, have filled their latest issues with a plethora of both knitting and crochet patterns as well as patterns that combine both techniques. And I for one LOVE THIS as I’ve been a bi-processor of yarn for close to three decades!
And It’s nice to see that I’m not alone. In fact, there seem to be many yarn bi-processors out and about the web. And let me tell you, there is no shortage of inspiration to be had when surfing around their blogs and sites! Check out fellow whip up contributor, Drew, or designer, educator author, Annie Modesitt to partake in some excellent yarn bi-processing. And don’t forget these bi-processing superstars…Lily Chin, the divas over at Stitch Diva Studios and one of my faves, Teva Durham. How about lesser-known but nonethelesser bi-processing yarn afficionados such as Stuffed, who not only bi-processes yarn, but makes wonderful dolls. Or take a trip over to L.A. Is My Beat where Ellen will dazzle you with myriad bi-processed yarn projects including this incredible bag! And while your surfing about be sure to drop in on another whip up contributor, Lemony Lemondade or Ewe Devil, What’s Cluttering My Couch and the tri-process queen and proprietor of Luxe, Natasha, because remember when it comes to process, more is definitely MORE!

I’ve never seen L.A. Is My Beat before. Thanks for the cool link.
Randomness:
I’ve always wanted to be bi-something. Thanks for the phrase.
Do you think there is something other than being process-oriented? For me results-oriented is called ’shopping’ and I do that a lot, too.
Did you know that doll is a four letter word? I believe the PC pronunciation is ‘three dimensional humanoid-type sculpture.’

I refuse to be called a bi-processor. It makes me think of ruminants and their multiple stomachs. How about just being versatile?
However, thank you for all the good links!

Oh, I love combining knit and crochet. One of my very first patterns combined the two.

I love the kind of lace you can produce with crochet, but for solid fabric, I prefer the drape of knitting to single crochet.
