Knitty Gritty

Trying something new this year with knitting....you see so many wonderful projects and while I have crocheted since the early age of ten due to some very patient grandma's.  This business of knitting is a bit of a learning curve but I'm getting the hang of it....slowly!  Two scarves finished and on to this cowl....and the yarn is absolutely wonderful.

If anyone knows of an absolute BEGINNER book for knitters that is easy to understand I am open for suggestions as there are so many to choose from and I haven't a clue!  Thanks in advance for any advice.

Well back to the knitty gritty!

As If...

 

I didn't have enough different types of crafts I like.....

I tried knitting and in two evenings finished this scarf.  I had actually tried knitting before and gave up this time  It was actually easy and fun!

 

Now what to try next???

 

Guess your never to old to learn something new!

Old and New Adventures

Just finished another hooked mat and it's bound...hooray! That is one of my goals this year keep up on the binding :)

Another goal is trying new things...I'm taking a couple of online classes just for fun and it also works into my schedule.



The first one is a Life Journal of 2012...going to try and document 2012 and a few things I did along the way.



This project is a class by Stephanie of Homegrown Hospitality.


Next a class in creating something everyday for 30 days.


It's a class of doodling, painting, sketching, taking photos. and looking for inspiration in what is around you. Here is my lil' doodle and watercolor inspired by Kiwi fruit.
This class is by Alisa Burke...stop by her blog you will be amazed at what she creates and with a new lil' baby girl.

And if that isn't enough new starts....



I have been crocheting since I was just a lil' kid but have decided I want to try knitting so found some good online videos and talked with a lady in a yarn shop about some sites online to check out and look it's not pretty by any means but it's a beginning!

So I encourage you to step out of the comfort zone and give something new a try!
