I have finally learned to knit. I am so happy and excited and can’t wait until kiddos go to sleep so I can get my knitting out. I love working the yarn and the needles. Who knew this could be so much fun. I love how I see instant results and the feeling I get when I realize I made this.
So far I am working on a scarf (of course) and am getting ready to start a hat for hubby. I found the pattern online and it looks easy enough for me to do. I will be doing a purl stitch and need to practice them some more. I was trying earlier and somehow messed up so I had to start all over. No big deal since I was only on my third row.
I need to go review Donna Kooler’s Encyclopedia of Knitting (Donna Kooler’s Series)
I hope this isn’t a one time thing I’m interested in for a little bit especially since I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit. I would like to eventually make a Bible cover. I saw the one Camy Tang made and have wanted one ever since.
I think for now I will stick with my scarf and figuring out the hat.

That’s so awesome you’re learning to knit! Knitting has saved my sanity, I’m not kidding. I love making things and the feel of the yarn in my hands, and it’s very soothing. I love that knittinghelp.com website, too–the videos are terrific!
