knitting so far


Knitting has become a very enjoyable pastime and also a useful one. I'm glad i've kept with it as it's something i've always known how to do but i've never really finished anything. Thankfully though i managed to finish my first project which was to knit a big cosy scarf.  I kept seeing scarves in shops over the winter season but being a bit fussy i could never find the exact colour i wanted. One of the brilliant things about knitting is that there really is an endless range of colours to choose from out there so you can pretty much find the exact shade your after. I found the perfect shade and finished the scarf which is pictured here. It's very cosy I'm now working on another scarf for my mum's birthday and then my next challenge is to make a hat or even just anything else that's not a scarf! I've managed to start knitting quite quickly now and my mum's scarf is looking to be finished in a day which is quite an achievement for me.  In other news i've managed to set my sewing machine up and i have my bunting ready to sew but i'm having a few teething problems with the machine so will have to get my head around that before i can complete that project. Onwards and upwards!
