So I decided to teach myself how to knit back in december of 2009 and I'm in LOVE!!!!! Its so much fun and I feel proud of myself that I made something that we could easily buy right off the racks in the store. I'm trying to teach myself more difficult patterns as I go. Soon, I'll be knitting my eyes closed. lol Maybe not. But I have seen women who can have their full attention towards someone and still be knitting 100 miles an hour!
These are a few projects that I have completed.

I made a few scarves, which were a trial and error process. I realized afterwards that I have been knitting wrong! The way I knitted was a different kind of knitting but it wasn't the basic. Oops! lol.

I was taught how to do a basket weave pattern for this scarf. I'm going to try and make a hat to match this olive scarf!

This was my first hat that I made that wasn't on those knifty knitter looms. Which is the cheat cheat way of knitting. lol.

Then I decided to move up and make something bigger than a scarf or hat. I made a small baby's blanket with a hood in one corner! So cute! I'm not sure if I want to keep it for my first child whenever that will be or for a cute baby shower gift. We'll see.


This was a gift I made for my sister-in-law Marlayna for her 22nd birthday. Her favorite colors are pink and purple. I had so much fun making that flower on the hat! I love it! And she definitely loves it!

Then I made a little sweater for my mother's chihuahua! So cute! I was very impressed with myself! I learned that cable pattern all by myself!!!! Unfortunately,....the sweater was designed for a toy chihuahua. Kiki is too big for the sweater I made her. It only took me a day to make so I'm not worried! I can unravel it and start all over again!


I would just like to get rid of all the old yarn I have stored for the past 8-9 years! I want prettier yarn and I don't like waisting yarn so I'll be doing lots of kitting for awhile!
