The Knitting Fiend

Heather, has tagged me in a 7 Random Facts about yourself meme. As I’ve chosen to accept it, I must tell you 7 Random Facts about myself. Afterwards, I must find 7 bloggers that haven’t been tagged yet to do the same. (Seven? And Heather already tagged all my knitting group? Sheesh!)

1. I have a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering.
2. I work part-time for Argonne National Laboratories. When working, I wear my pajamas. (Good thing I work at home!)
3. I take care of two cats: ‘Mo and Piewacket. They are pretty domineering.
4. I’m going on vacations next week! (The inlaws will be staying here taking care of ‘Mo and Piewacket.
5. I love pesto so much, I dug up a 8ft x 20 ft strip on the west side of the house to grow basil.
6. I was born in El Salvador and we moved to Bufallo, NY in January of 1966. Yes, it was a shock.
7. Uhmmm…I like knitting… a lot…(but I’m slow.)

Ok.. there is only one thing to do: Tag people in the machine knitters web ring! I tag:
knutty4knitting, Needles of Steel, Zeppo’s knitting blog, Knit Man, Knittsings, A Distant Knitter and Knitting on the Rogue River.

Yes… I could use their names. But since joining all these paid for post blogs, I’ve learned it juices their google search efficiency to use their blog post names inside the link! (Weird, hun.)

For the convenience of any of those tagged, if you have a hard time thinking up 7 people to tag, check out the machine knitters feed list. There are 23 knit bloggers on that list, and I bet they’d wouldn’t mind a simple meme like this one.
