First Stitch

Yay! So now I have a knitting blog. Figured I could post my frustration with problems and my giddiness with success without threajacking my groups on Ravelry.com and without causing DH Brad to fall asleep!

Also, I'm hoping to use this as a way to keep my multiple projects and project plans and ideas organized.

Ok, so here I go with my first KnittingBlog post!
thought it would be a good time to finally start it up as I went to YarnCon this weekend and had fun exploring for the first time so much handspun and hand dyed yarns.
I even got a drop spindle and some fiber to try my hand at spinning for the first time! It’s getting better, but I’m still unsure how good it will be. The first night was awful and I went to bad mad and full of pink fluff!!
I also got some really cool recycled yarn that’s lace weight. I plan to use that to make a pretty shawl for Brad’s grandmother. Only disappointing thing about YarnCon was that the workshop I wanted to attend got cancelled at the last minute.
I now need to organize my projects and get to serious work on my Christmas knitting. I need a few needle size I’m going to order, but for the most part, I think I should be good as long as I get to work. I’m half way done with my first pair of socks that are going to be for my MIL, and I’m pretty proud that they are coming together so nicely. Also, I need to though get going on Victor’s red hat. Took the measurements last night and have my swatch and everything, so no more dilly-dallying.
I’ll post some pictures of my goods and more details about my potential projects later tonight or tomorrow. For now, I must get back to work, the real one that pays me…
TTFN!
