Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! This is a blog about knitting and crocheting and various crafts. I have been knitting for about three years and have decided to create a blog about it. Right now I am working on several projects which include:

A baby sweater (3/4 of the way complete) I frogged the right front of this sweater last night - it was crooked and I couldn't figure out how to make it straight so I decided to rip it all out. I haven't decided if I will cast on again tonight or give it a rest for a few days....

A prayer shawl - I am trying a new pattern for a lace shawl. This will be a Christmas present for someone in my family.

A scarf for my DD for Christmas - I haven't started this yet - but plan to make it with many different yarns all in her favorite color.

A scarf for battered women shelter - I got a kit from Concepts in Yarn on Wednesday night. I will start that sometime this week.

I had a bad cold all weekend so I didn't get too much knitting done. I did complete two prayer shawls last week. One for my step-mother and one for my best friend. I will post pictures of them soon. I hope to get the shawl out to my step-mother sometime this week before Thanksgiving and the mail rush begins!
