Knitting 101

I took a knitting class this week. I love to crochet, but knitting is a skill I've never truly grasped. I'm not that good at it. The lessons reconfirmed that fact, but I will try and try some more until I at least get the basics. I have to work on how I hold the needles and the yarn.

There are some really cool things you can do with knitting. I hope to learn it well enough to make a scarf and an afghan. We shall see. Stay tuned!

Blanket is complete!


Back in May I told you about a blanket I was working on. I finally finished it this past holiday weekend. I would have finished sooner but my poor right wrist was going through a bit of carpel-tunnel like activity.
I really need to work on my photography skills. In the pattern books they always drape the blankets over chairs or sofas or something... I'll work on it :)
