Happy New Year!!!

So this is a little project I knit up the other night when I was bored. I think it's cute. I found the pattern on Ravelry. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I'm kinda thinking I might try and put it in a frame and put a nice quote underneath it. I think that would be nice. And then maybe I can do that for special events. Like make one for the year I move out of home and get my own place, or when I get married etc. And each quote will relate to the event. This one can be for the year I graduate.

First Hat!!!

Here's my first adult hat. I love it. Unfortunetly I made it for someone else to give to their son (whom I don't know) so I guess that just means I'll have to make another one for my boyfriend. It didn't take me too too long to make it. I was snowed in all weekend because we got able a foot and a half of snow outside so I kept myself busy knitting. I'll post again soon when I knit more!!!

Knitting Class Project



Hey There!
I just wanted to post my knitting project that I'm working on in my class. I'm hoping they come out right. There was a pair already knit up at the shop I got to try them on and I loveeed them. They're called "Caribou Glovelets" By Diane Carlson. Wish me luck!

My First Baby Hat!!!


This is a picture of the first baby hat I made. I made it for some friends of mine who are expecting any week now. Hopefully I will get a picture of the baby wearing it once she's born :-)
I just used a very basic hat pattern.  I made a few mistakes but once I rolled up the rim you'd never know ;-) I think it's decent for a first hat. Hopefully once I get better I can try more complicated patterns and avoid making mistakes.

First Post

So this is the first post of  my blog. I thought it would be fun to create a blog where I could share all my knitting projects. I just started knitting about a year or so ago. 
I'm 22 and I get a lot of crap for being a young knitter, such as being referred to as an "Old Woman", but no one complains when I hand them a nice pair of gloves or a scarf haha. I am now taking knitting classes at a wonderful yarn shop in Sudbury, MA with my mom. It's a lot of fun (especially since we go out afterwards and have a Margarita at the Mexican restaurant down the road haha.    
So for now I'm going to keep this short but I will post again soon with pictures of some of my projects.
