Notes of a Knitter with huge dreams

11.28.2004

I had my first Thanksgiving at my house and it went very well. 8 people in all, Malcolm came. I stopped by The Technicolor Sheep last Saturday and I picked up 5 skiens of Bernat Country Wool (008) it looks just like a light tweed. My plans are to make a small bag for almost everyday use. I found the pattern in Family Circle Easy Knitting Magazine Holiday 2004 issue. I started last night but I need smaller needles because my gauge wasn't right. I went through my needles last night and I have more 3's and 4's then any thing else! I have every size except 6 & 7 so I am going to go back the the store today to pick up those and a needle holder. When I get far enough I will include a picture of it.

James (f) in red and Peanut Butter (m) in purple. Aren't they adorable? Posted by Hello

I bought a new book. The Yarn Girls' Guide to Simple Knits. I like it. I've decided to begin my book reviews and put them online. I have also made two new friends that knit so I am definately going to start a circle here at my house. I am thinking Tuesday evening but I haven't decided yet. I'll ask around and do my research on whats a good day for everyone.

I haven't started anything but I am getting ready to. I mean Christmas is right around the corner. I need to make my list. I have an old picture of my babies too that I want to put up. Aren't they the cutest!?!

Ahhh, almost one year since my last posting!!! I can't believe it. So much has been going on: I moved to Philly, I am a teacher now, I am in grad school and I have the two most adorable kittens in the world.

I haven't started any new knitting projects but I would like to make all my Christmas gifts this year so I need to make my list ASAP before Christmas rolls around. I bought a new book: Last-Minute Knitted Gifts and it looks pretty nice. I haven't chosen one yet that I want to do. I would love to know what other people think of the knitting books that you own- like a critique so I don't make the same old mistake of buying whatever I see in Borders. Also, I would like to begin a Knitting Circle at my house. Is this a terrible idea? I need feedback.
