I learned to knit a few years ago for the sole purpose of learning how to make a felted bag so I could put this beaded flower I was making at the time on it. Here's my very first knitted object:
I continued to make bags to feed the beaded flower frenzy that I was consumed with and never learned anything else. Fast forward to about November of 2008 when I just had the itch to learn how to knit socks. So I took a class (to learn more of that adventure click here and go to the end of that post) and have been pretty much knitting every day since then. I love knitting!
My friend Elrene was making a cable scarf for her granddaughter and because she is such a sweetheart, took the time to show me how to do a cable and then gave me the pattern she used. And then another sweetheart, Paula, gifted me a ton of yarn that she was 'clearing out' out of her stash. So I was ready to cable!
More treats from Paula:
This is a hat kit from New Zealand! 
Here is a gorgeous purse kit
- the 'yarn' is so incredibly soft, I can't wait to tackle this project -
YooHoo! Self-striping yarn ! Can you say 'happy feet'?
I am blessed with a whole group of friends who also like to knit and/or crochet and so I am hosting my first knit night at my house. I know how hard it is to plan a night when everyone can get together, but I am hoping that at least one person can make it that night! I would love to see what everyone is working on and drool over projects and fibers!
In that same thought of sharing, I thought I should start a knitting blog and connect with all the other knitters that don't live close enough to visit in person. I love my beading blog friends and am just amazed at what a wonderful community of people I have come to know through that blog. I can't wait to start finding knitting blogs and take in as much knitted eye candy that I can while making new friends along the way!
