Career Change -- Throwing in the Towel AND...

I've decided that real estate is so not for me. I'm joining the circus!!

I'm ready for towel- and hat-throwing -- into the 3-ring! I've ordered a custom sequin outfit (only $1379!!) from everythingshiny.com, and polished my trapeze act. I'm just waiting for my new troupe's RV to get here and whisk me away to Montana!

Have you ever tried to throw a hat? The best ones tend to be heavy knitted hats if you want to hit someone. Most of my hats have brims, and they wheel like frisbees. Well, that's part of my act. Kind of different, I think. And then there are the towels. You thought I was kidding with that one. Nope -- Egyptian cotton towels, set with multicolored rhinestones for weight and sparkle, are going to be tossed in patented ways never before seen.

This is going to ROCK.

So...which is it?

Am I a Realtor who knits, or am I a knitter in the real estate business? Umm...both!

Those are not my only pursuits, just a couple of my more public ones. Knitting a public pursuit? For sure, now it is. I belong to a few local knitting groups and we get together now and then, usually in certain coffee shops, and Knit In Public. 'n if you think knitting is only for grannies, dude you are behind the times. (I crochet too, as of October 2004.)

I've used the name "the Knitting Realtor" in a few places on the Internet, but I'm changing that, because technically we Realtors (members of the National Association of Realtors) should not use the trademarked term with such modifiers, really. So henceforth, I am the KnittingAgent. Not quite as precise, but it'll have to do.

As my first official act, I have planned...a couple of knitting projects. Stay tuned!
