Knitting 101

I learned to knit 2 weeks ago. My good friend, Janelle, who previously I hadn't seen in probably ten years taught me. Now, I'm hooked (excuse the pun). Janelle is one of those childhood best friends that when we see each other we can pick up where we left off even if there's been lots of time in between visits. When we were little we would laugh so hard together we peed our pants, well maybe that was just me. But still, I don't know how many friends I've had like that. Not many. So it was a special thing when she taught me how to knit a couple weeks ago. I'm still on my first project- a scarf for Abigail. I'm about half way done and hope to finish very soon due to the frigidness we're experiencing right now in Chicago. I've already bought yarn and needles for my next project- a dishcloth. All the knitting items were half off at Hobby Lobby this week and I just can't pass up a good deal.
