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.

It's been a while

Well so much for knitting in the summer. It seems I've been unable to get any knitting done since my youngest DS became mobile.  He is a monkey! Climbing on everything it takes everything I have to keep up w/ the boys & keep DS2 out of everything. The first thing he does when he sees yarn is start tangling it up so needless to say my poor yarn has been in hiding for a while.

So here we are officially in fall & I am finally back to knitting & preparing for the craft fair at my work this year.  This is a very large craft fair that they have done for years & years.  I know a few people I work w/ that participate in it each year & they always sell out.  Some of my other coworkers are very interested in purchasing what I make so fingers crossed I will make money at this one.

I have knitted up 3 wallets that I have to felt & sew in the linings I hope to have my next post cover a wallet & a purse I've felted & lined but for now they are still just WIP.
I have also knitted up two pair of fingerless gloves .    The pattern is one I found outside of ravelry but it is on there. I follow this blog called "A Friend to Knit with"     This pattern is called Toasty very simple, quick & easy.                          
                                                                    One set in Red
& one set in Brown
I'll also be making another set in gray but this is all I have for now.  I am planning on quite the list of items so hopefully I am not being to overly ambitious.

I hope to start blogging more regularly as well but again it all depends on what time I can sneek away.  I did manage to get very organized this spring. I got my circular knitting needle organizer case from Namaste for Christmas & My DH got me my KA interchangeable needle set.  He also picked me up a plastic tool box that is working very well for organization as well. I will try to post some pics of that & another post on what I just learned about the differences in 4/medium weight yarn.

Hope to talk to you all much sooner than last time. :-) Happy Knitting!
