The post to begin all posts!

Welcome, all, to my feeble attempt at a knitting blog! Lurking around cyberspace and peeking in on other knitters' blogs has inspired me to create my own.

A little introduction to me...well, not me in my entirety, but me in relation to knitting. My mother taught me how to knit when I was probably 10 or so. But that lasted all of about a week before I set aside my tiny plastic needles and forgot about it. I picked up some needles again in college and made a scarf for my boyfriend. It was in a basic knit stitch and wasn't too impressive, but I enjoyed doing it and the boy really liked it.

Then in January of this year, a co-worker taught me how to crochet. I started on a scarf, but then started looking at knitting books and patterns and decided to dive headfirst into knitting again (the crocheted scarf still sits on my bookshelf not even half finished). Since January I have completed 4 projects and am in the middle of 3...multi-tasking like a true knitter!! I am LOVING knitting. I'm not sure how it happened...but I just started, and I was GOOD! And I loved doing it! And I love buying way more yarn and patterns and books than I will ever be able to use in the next 6 months!! I think I've found my true craft calling. And I'm really excited about it.
