So I've had about two knitting classes so far, and I have to say they've got me really excited! After the first class I practiced my stockinette stitch until I ran out of yarn and it all looked pretty uniform and, no numb fingers!!
There's my very first ribbing too! So many exclamations! I'm just very excited to be on the path to my first sweater :)
Right now I'm working on a grey wool hat that should be finished this Monday night. And then another project lurks around the corner...
It's really nice having handwork to do lately. I've been staring longingly at my sewing stuff, but I just don't seem to have the time. With knitting I can take it anywhere I go so it's inspired me to keep an eye out for portable sewing, etc. In fact, I have a 30s leather glove pattern I picked up just a while back and recently got the chamois to practice with (phew, it stinks and the box proudly proclaims it is tanned with 100% fish oil).
How is everyone's Winter going? I haven't even looked at blogs in what seems forever so I've got some catching up to do!
