Knitting - Knit 1 Perl 2 Chat blog
I just got a note from a friend of mine who is really into knitting, and now has a blog about knitting:
--------------
I wanted to update you on my knitting projects. Remember when we went to Herschners to check out the bargain room? Well I have put the yarns I found to great use.
I used the purple Lopi wool yarn ($2.00 per skein) to make some hats for the kids and their American Girl dolls. So cute and quick! Now I am working on a scarf with the olive green ($3.50 per skein) to make a scarf for a friend. It will be a great chance to play with some cable patterns I have been eyeing!!
It seems odd that I started knitting in the summer. My goal to get a scarf entered into the State Fair was achieved and I received a score of 90 out of 100 from the judges. Not enough for a ribbon, but the whole experience was fun. Now that it is fall and I am knitting in front of my fireplace it just feels right! What better way to spend a fall afternoon than in front of the fireplace starting a new project!
Socks seem to be “the thing” to make, so I have begun working on my first pair.
Knitting is so much fun because it never really ends. I have learned to keep about three projects going at a time. The variety is great!
Check out my blog sometime, www.knit1purl2chat.blogspot.com. There you can see what I am working on, here about the woes of ripping out large amounts of work, and see my reviews and interactions with local yarn shops.

It sounds like a lot of fun, so maybe now that I am not designing floor medallions or hovering over contractors, I could take up a new hobby? Well, maybe not quite yet. There's still a lot of home improvement going on here, but someday I think I would not mind trying knitting.
