When the snow started to fly, I gave up on the furniture refinishing for a little while, and moved indoors. That gave me a chance to pick up my other hobby, which is....
knitting!!
I learned to knit about four or five years ago. I taught myself to crochet from an instructional book, but knitting was different. I just didn't get it until I could watch someone do it. I walked into a yarn store in Ogden Utah (The Needlepoint Joint, if you're in the area), and one of the nice employees sat down with me and taught me what to do with those pointy sticks! I have been a fan ever since.
So here are some of my wintertime projects!
My baby turned three years old a couple of weeks ago. I finished her sweater about 1 a.m. on the morning of! That is, if you don't count the buttons! (I don't.)
Then there was a Dragon Scarf for one son:
Pattern: Enchanted Dragon by Mary Triplett
And a pair of fingerless gloves for another son (suitable for playing basketball!). Please notice the tough-guy poses!
No particular pattern
These last fingerless gloves are on their way to a new owner as of tomorrow. They weren't exactly a Christmas present, but I did finish them on Christmas Eve! My daughter gets to be the hand model.
Pattern: Fetching by Cheryl Niamath
If you also knit, I am RedHen6 on Ravelry!
