That's Knit-tastic!

I'm going to take my mother with me to Guthrie to SWAK. It'll be my first time to go to a store totally devoted to yarn. I'm very excited. From what I've heard, they have a WAY better selection of yarn that say Hobby Lobby or Michael's. I'm going to try to find other things to do in Guthrie so we can make a day of it.

I started knitting baby booties for my cousin's baby. I'm almost finished with the first one. It's a really easy pattern. It only took me a couple of hours to do. I don't think it looks very good. I just grabbed the yarn & needles I had with me and started knitting to see what the pattern would look like. I don't know if I'm actually going to give her the first pair I make. I may play around with a couple of different yarns before I decide on what the finished product will be. When I do decide, I'll post pictures.

About me: I'm a twenty-something self-taught knitter currently living in Midwest City, Oklahoma. I would like to help other youngish people learn to knit as well. I would love to start a local knitting group, but I'm having a hard time finding people who are interested.
