As I've been learning about witchcraft, I've also been getting back into knitting. For a long time I've wanted to knit something with some scrumptious Debbie Bliss yarn so I bought a pattern and some great purple Cashmerino Superchunky. Purple because 1) I want a sweater to match a pair of purple suede shoes I bought last fall and 2) because purple is magickal and I feel like I'm working magick with every stitch.

Being creative ladies in general, there are a lot of knitters who have beautiful blogs. When I was looking for samples to base Blogickal on, these knitting blogs were my favorites. One of them, Knitty Gritty, had an "Email Me" link, so I did and asked who designed the site. Annie sent me the email address of her designer, Mary. And Mary, a knitter and sister blogger (Knitting Notes), has designed this great site.

As it turns out, Mary and I have a lot in common. She lives in Ohio; I was born there. Mary vacations on Martha's Vineyard every year and likes to go to Lucy Vincent Beach and so do I! In fact, I was just there a week ago. Here is a picture of Lucy Vincent Beach for Mary:

So you see, there is a magickal, purple thread running through this story that will one day soon be a great purple sweater, but also a symbol to me of how the universe sends people to you when you need them and how beautifully connected we all are.
