knit myself a scarf

It’s over a foot long. I just have to resist the temptation to use up all my stitch patterns before I even get halfway!

So, I’ve knit millions of scarves, but only in garter stitch, and I think HALF of one in ribbing. But this time I resolve to knit one completely in stockinette, ‘cos I like how it looks & I always get bored when I try—but not this time, no sir!

Wow, i am really slow at this goal. Haven’t worked on it all summer and now winter is fast approaching, I better better blow of the dust and cobwebs and keep going!

I saw my mum yesterday, but I totally forgot to take my kintting along for her to fix up :( Now I will have to wait longer to get it back. I suppose my scarf won’t be ready to wear until next winter. Oh well.

I got my mum to teach me how to knit when I visited her on the weekend and I should be able to do something basic soon. I am getting a bit faster too! But I think I will wait until next time I visit her so she can fix any mistakes I make on the way… which are sure to happen.

I must learn how to knit

this is great fun…. i started about 2 years ago and although my knitting ability is still very basic, i’m having fun. I do it as a stress-dealing thing. very relaxing….

NOW I’VE BEEN KNITTING FOR MY FRIENDS. SCARVES ARE MY B-DAYS PRESENTS FOR THEM… NOW I WONDER WHAT WILL I HAVE TO LEARN ONCE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FRIENDS GET A SCARF FROM ME… HAHAHA

It feels so good to wear something you’ve made yourself! Only gripe is that I made mine with storebought yarn. Imagine how crazy you’d feel if you did everything yourself, from start to finish. Wow. But for now, I’m marking this off with my $5.99 balls from Lincraft. ;)

I’m pretty much addicted to knitting now. It’s hard to avoid the yarn shop…
