I'm a Knitting Scout

I just joined the Knitting Scouts! So far I’ve earned the following badges:
The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge”
I don’t push knitting too much, but I did get my mom knitting again. She had stopped knitting for some years. I also think I’ve planted a seed in some people to learn to crochet (which I think it should count too) by showing my crochet toys in Ravelry.
The “I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess” Badge
I can add stitches evenly when required (I’ve master the division!) And I can also read Amigurumi charts. I also adjusted the size of some gloves I made to match my hand size (the pattern was made for Amazonian women).
The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One)
I’ve used paper clips and safety pins for different things. Mostly as stitch markers.
The “I’ve Been Published in a Knitting Magazine” badge
This one is a bit iffy, but I was published in the Knitty Magazine’s calendar, so I’m counting it. You can download it as a desktop wallpaper.
I don’t plan to get all the badges (like the “Knitting Caused My Divorce” Badge or the “Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention” Badge (Level Two)), but I’ll keep adding them to my list as I earn them.
