That's Knit-tastic!

I finished my socks!!!

I haven't been blogging because I've had a really busy summer, and I've been kind of embarrassed that it was taking me so long to finish my socks. They're done now, though, so I'm either going to have to start blogging again or come up with a better excuse.

I ordered a couple of new knitting books from Barnes & Noble yesterday. I got a felting book and a shawls book. I've never felted anything, so it should be fun to learn a new technique. Also, I hope everyone in my family needs a shawl, because they're getting one for Christmas!

Have a nice day!

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.

Felting is such fun. It's like a magic trick. I've been doing a bit of felting lately and really enjoy it. Big needles, fast knits, wash and instant gratificaton! Post a Comment << Home
