Knitting, again.

Sorry, comments were not working all week. I just figured nobody saw this blog so I wasn't concerned. But I got 5 emails about it! Thanks for caring, guys. I appreciate it!

So, I've been stuck on knitting. I've discovered that you can knit almost anything on a loom!! I went to Hobby Lobby today (with my 40% off coupon in hand), and bought a set of knitting looms. They were $14.99 (for a set of four! w00t!), but with my coupon and tax (oh, and a roll of ribbon.. shhh) the total was only $10.81! How awesome is THAT?!

I came home and made a hat for Grace, and am now working on a hat for someone's daughter. My wonderful neighbor, Dana, told me about the best knitting website ever! It is ravelry.com. There are (some) free knitting patterns, ideas, etc and it's free to sign up!

My next project (after this hat, after a hat for Rachel, and after a scarf for Rachel), is going to be fingerless gloves for my 8 year old daughter, Jenelle. Ravelry has a FREE pattern: Here

Then, it's on to leg warmers. I'm super excited about these!! These are from LionBrand.com Sign up is free for their website as well.

So, I have a lot of work ahead of me! Pictures will be posted soon! Er, well, as soon as I get off this computer and start working on them...

Don't forget to check out our newest tutus at Nelliebugs.com!!

I have tried to use the looms you mention and for some reason haven't made them work. But do plan to try again, just as one of my goals this year is to finally learn to knit. I taught myself to crochet, mostly simple stuff anyway, and want to do knitting but never seem to be able to figure out how to cast on. great blog. take care
