A Knitting Fool

Sometime before Christmas, I decided that I was getting bored with crocheting and needed a challenge. I decided to dust off my knitting needles and give it another go. This time I went into it with an open mind and a little more knowledge (thanks to my momma) on the basic knitting and purling! I became hooked instantly and haven't looked back. I still crochet, don't get me wrong, but these days I can mostly be found carrying around a knitting project or two with me everywhere I go. I am known by some in my family as the bag lady. Lol!

Here are a few projects I have completed over the past few months:


A hat for our dear friend Mark for Christmas.


Blythe sized hats and scarves or new kitty accessories!


I made a few of these knitted cowls for Christmas gifts too.


Completed my first knitted baby blanket!


My first project with a cable stitch. This little pink beauty is going to be a cowl for myself! I am so close to finishing it!


A fun lacy shawl/cowl!

I think I am now ready to tackle socks and sweaters. Fingers crossed that I can figure it out. I have found several great patterns on Ravelry, as well as several books that I hope will guide me along the way.
