I am so excited to report that knitting (so far) is not as hard as I first thought it was!! If only I had books and youtube when I first tried to learn nine years ago. (wow!! NINE years... I feel so old. Time sure does fly!!!)
So..
this week I practiced the knit and pearl stitch. I could bore you with a ton of details but in a nut shell... I am just practicing and hoping that this is the beginning of a new addiction. However, I will provide more details and pictures as I get better and have something to show off.
On my crochet hook -
When I finished my sidewalk shawl I mentioned to George, my husband, that I wasn't sure what I wanted to make next. He reminded me of how badly he would love a blanket. I pulled out some blue yarn and started a pattern that I have wanted to try for a while.
The pattern says that the finished blanket will be 52" x 52". George has asked me to make it a little bit bigger then that so that he can wrap up in it and get cozy. I haven't determined how much bigger I am going to make it yet but I am sure it won't be hard to do.
And so much more -
Today I ran into Hobby Lobby to get more yarn for George's blanket and I ran into the jewelry section. I picked up some sample booklets on making your own jewelry and there are some cute ideas! I don't know how good I would be at making jewelry but I may just try my hand at it. I may just become a jack of all trades. :) Who knows... I may start making my own cards too. Watch out world... Here I come.
Try something crafty this week!! You won't regret it.
you never cease to amaze me. :)
