Welcome to my first Blog!!!! I'm pretty darn new to this so, bare with me.
When I was about nine or ten years old I learned to knit. I think I might have finished a scarf, bright red acrylic (must have been Red Heart). I remember my mom knitting for awhile, she made us slippers for christmas. Mine were bright pink, white and black, just like good n plenty candy. Kinda nauseating when I think about it now, but ok when you're nine I guess! Anyway, I don't think my scarf went so well, because I didn't knit again until about three months ago. I bought a book (Knitting and Crocheting for Dummies) and taught myself to knit. That was the beginning of my "sickness", I haven't put the needles down yet!
Since then, I've made a bunch of scarves, some beanies (hip hop and optik by berrocco is a fun combo) and then I discovered the felted purse! I just finished my tenth, they're so much fun to make! OH, and I've made a pair of socks thank you very much!!!
The best part is I've met a bunch of great ladies since I started. Joann at Heartstrings, Devi at Knitwits, and of course Heather, Brooke, Linda, Lynn and Julie(whom I've known forever) from our Sunday Circle. Which is why I've learned so much so quickly, I'm always picking someone's brain. And....I got my sister hooked too!!
This weekend, I'm taking a cable class....I'm so excited! Thanks Heather and Devi!!
And at the end of the month....my first sweater...woooohoooo!!!!
Looking forward to the start of Secret Pal 8!!!! Another first, thanks Brooke.
I'm having so much fun! Life is Good!
