My first post....

Here it is my own blog!!! Why do I need a blog??? Good question but hey I figure everyone else has one so why not right. More than any thing I want to use this blog to keep up with my crafting adventures. I "started" knitting about 2 weeks before Christmas last year, so I have been knitting for around 3 months now. At first I wasn't very comfortable with it. Now that I have gotten the basics down and completed a few projects I am really getting in to it. I LOVE to scour my library for knitting books. I never would have dreamed there were so many different things that you can knit. My favorite book so far would probably be Mason-Dixon Knitting. Thus far I have completed a few scarves...very basic but enough to get the hang of things. Now I am making a sweater for my daughter. The pattern is from Lionbrand.com and is very easy to follow. I found some wonderful pictures of knit dresses for little girls in my last library search and was really inspired to try one. Unfortunately all of the patterns that I found are knit in two pieces and then stitched together, which will work but I can see no reason why a dress for a little girl couldn't be knit in the round. So far I haven't had much luck finding patterns to do so but I am working on it. So much to do and so little time. For now my little angel is napping and my knitting needles and the lunch dishes are calling....wonder who will win my attentions first????
