Hobo Hands

I actually learned how to knit something other than scarfs...granted fingerless gloves are pretty easy and I had instruction but still I learned a lot! I took a class at Kamilles over at Gardner Village, which by that way they offer many other classes as well. I loved my instructor and she really taught me how to purl, use circular needles ( I love by the way) and read patterns. Yes the classes and even the yarn are a little pricey; but the service couldn't be better and the yarn is beautiful! My next knitting venture is going to be Christmas stockings...any one wanna join me?

I love your gloves. Very awesome. Yes I just said very awesome. I don't know if you remember my families knitted Christmas stockings that my grandma makes but I have to learn how to make them because one day it will be my responsibility. haha, yeah right they wouldn't trust me. Anyways, I love that you knit. Again very awesome! I actually have not been down that way since we moved up here but one of these days I will and then, PARTY!

You are so domestic. I love it. Did you have any luck w/the blankets? I know I didn't give very good instructions . . .

Nice! Love the mitts. My SIL is a great knitter, I only crochet. We need to get together on the porch sometime and put our mad skills to use.

Melanie said...

I am so jealous that you know how to knit. I want to lean how so I can make super cute scarves. I love that you are making stockings. I seem to be very picky about stockings. For some reason I like very expensive ones. LAME! I wish I lived there and I would make you teach me how so I could make my very expensive stockings for cheap!
