Knitting...

A while ago I decided that I wanted to learn to knit. Today, I took the first step with the help of Kathy of the Nebraska Knit and Crochet Guild. Kathy generously gave me some knitting needles and practice yarn to start with. I am doing it. Not exactly beautiful yet, but I am getting there!

I ran into these women a couple of months ago in Whole Foods, and got their card. I met with them today and I am currently working on a small practice swatch. I am excited and can't wait to be good enough to try making a scarf or other small (aka easy) project. Kathy suggested that I make some dishrags (practice, functional, and an accomplishment) and that sounds like a great first project.

One of the knitters had a GORGEOUS sweater there today that she finished recently. It really made me want to be successful...

More to come...
