This is my 3rd day posting! They say 21 days and it's a habit! Tuesday is my knitting lesson at the local quilt/yarn shop and I am making the oven mitts below. The pattern can be found on www.purlsoho.com/purl/purlbee. Anyway, I've knitted a few scarves but nothing complicated until now. For most "established knitters" this would not be complicated but for me it is a learning process!

| This is my Christmas present to myself...a complete set of Hiya Hiya interchangeable circular needles. The red case has the bigger sizes and the blue case has the smaller sizes. I BETTER learn to knit and do it well for what these cost! But we don't live anywhere near a place that sells knitting supplies except the quilt shop does carry some yarn. Every time you start a project you have to order new needles over the internet and wait for them to arrive so I decided to get these so I would always be ready for that "next project"! I love knitting but I am not very good at it yet. I have to concentrate and not watch T.V. and have the house quiet with no interruptions else I mess up and still sometimes I do! Any of you knitters out there? |
Hi Sam,
ReplyDeleteGood for you leaning some new knitting skills. I'm not to good at it myself. Just scarfs and hats and mittens.
I get a lot of of my embroidery from the thrift, guess people by the patterns and the don't want them. I also have a lot of tranfer books, so then I just Iron them on to a nice piece of material and embroider away.
Thank you for your kind comments on my pillow.

Your knitting looks great ! I am not a knitter , but I would like to learn.Happy New Year !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy Jo but I think mittens, hats and scarves would qualify you as a knitter! LOL! That may be all I ever do too but those oven mitts are just giant mittens!
ReplyDeleteMyrna, I started out reading the funniest book "Divorced, Drunk, and Covered in Cat Hair"..I think that was the name of it, true story taken from a real blog and how she learned to knit while going through a divorce. She's a great writer and there were "knitting recipes" in the back so I followed her path into knitting. I'll post later when I can find that book! I may have loaned it out. Happy New Year to you too!
