Last year on New Year's Eve, I apparently could not come up with anything to do with two days off from work. So, I pulled out the "Knitting for Dummies" book I had spontaneously purchased at good old Green Apple Books and set to work. A few days later, I had produced a fairly ugly stitch sampler. And so it began.
Within two weeks, I had joined a local knitting circle, a.k.a. Hobby Enablers (Hi, BAWDies!), and so it continued.
Knitting has now reached the Critical Hobby Obsession level. Winter is months away, but I was compelled to finish a warm wool sweater for myself. Want to see it?
The sweater is made from the La Mancha pattern by JoLene M. Treace and wonderful Malabrigo yarn. If you want to see more of my knitting projects, just sit there and hit "refresh" for a few months, OR join Ravelry and look for sfcorgi.
Next up, two baby hats for pregnant co-workers and two baby sweaters for pregnant friends. Then I'll tackle something new... socks? Lace? Only time will tell.
