About Me

I Love to knit! I have been Knitting for about 8 years and I have really started to knit much more frequently in the last couple years. I used to only knit in the winter & now I want to knit year round and make more & more gifts. I find it very relaxing and a good outlet for stress. I am curently contimplaiting becoming a certified knitting teacher, which would give me the opportunity to teach knitting at a local craft store. I have to take two classes but I am really excited about the possiblities.

Feeling Intimidated...

So I've been AWOL for quite sometime when it comes to knitting. I have been getting a few knitting projects in here & there & I still have to finish the post I started about the goodies I got for Christmas: My interchangeable needles & Circular needle case. So Yes now I'm realizing it has been over 6 months since I've done a post. WOW!!

So just yesterday I finally started my classes I sent away for to become a Certified Knitting Instructor. I need to double check & make sure I haven't passed the time frame already for completing the class. I feel like I don't know how to knit at all. LOL!!! I am so intimidated.  By the end of this class I will have designed a sweater & knit one too.  It is asking me why certain stitches do what they do & why is it important that they do that. I am like I don't know I just knit what the pattern tells me to & don't ask questions. LOL!  I guess I need to be prepared to answer questions about why if I am planing on ever teaching a class. 

In addition to my class I am also planing on participating in the Craft Fair at my work in Dec. This craft fair is very large & always does very well. So I am trying to make list's of things to knit. A friend I work with that does the fair every years thinks I need to focus on Purses & wallets but I need to sell them for around $80 to compensate for materials & time.  She thinks people will pay it & I will sell out. I have yarn for 3 purses & so I think I will start with those & then maybe some other new items. :-)
