knit something

woo-hoo!
My new hobby is fun.
I got the “Stitch N Bitch” book. I highly recommend it. It is very helpful and funny too.
I knit at school today and half-expected someone to say “What are you? 80??” or “aw, my grandmother used to knit.” But no one even batted an eyelash. Pretty cool.
I suppose the first thing I will do is a garter-stitch scarf…. the simpleton-like. I can’t wait until I can make socks. I LOVE knit socks. They ruuuuuuuule!!

I know the bare essentials of knitting and have made some very basic things (scarf, hat, stuffed animal, washcloth) in the past. I have some yarn and lot of needles and will find a project to do and finish it.

i’m planning on knitting some cushion covers for my mum, in pink and white, because she said she likes the colours, and cushion covers sounds quite simple, and it’s almost christmas so maybe it will be another surprise for her =]

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while – my biggest problem was I couldn’t keep knit/purl stitches straight, and most of the patterns I was in wanted you to knit in the round, which I don’t have the tools for. So finally I decided, heck, improvising patterns works when I sew, so… And, hey, it worked! I’m wearing my spiffy-new wristwarmers as we speak, and I can’t wait to try knitting something else.

Well, it’s been a year since I picked up my needles, and I’d like to, again. Maybe I could start with a handphone pouch, but eventually I wanna make a sweater or hoodie.

Dude, I’m totally knitting a purse! It’s awesome. It’s not going to look that great since it’s my first project, but it’ll be decent enough to actually use… and I can tell people that I made it… and totally make stuff for other people once I get better… is it weird that I am way over-excited about KNITTING?!

I’m also thinking about eventually knitting for charity…

It was…okay. Not a needleart I’m terribly interested in, but I figured I’d try it once to see if I changed my mind. Not so much.

Here are my first 4 1/2 squares!!

Once i finish my paint by numbers im going to learn to knit! I really want to buy a kit and knit myself a patchwork-style blanket! =)

My cousin is pregnant! I’m going to knit her a baby blanket!
