my new hero

Wayne Schmidt is my new hero. I stumbled across his page, Wayne's This and That while looking for information about "knitting mushrooms" (aka: knitting nancies on Wayne's site). Not only did I learn everything I need to know about knitting nancies, and then some, but I clicked through to the main page afterward...

Now, I constantly feel guilty about all the things I've learned to do over the years, that I did't "keep up" with after I learned them. But Wayne has put it all in a new light. I think this man does everything that crosses his mind, if it's physically possible. And then he documents it on his amazing website. Go look. Now.

I knit back when I was in 4-H and hated it. I've never seen or heard of a knitting Nancy, and now I WANT ONE!!

Even *I* can run a crank!

*added* Now what is *really* incredible is that the crank machine is made just a few blocks from my house here in Texas...I could take a drive and buy one at the factory!

...after reading his site, I want to build a pair of telescope binoculars!
