Knitting for the joy of it!

I love to knit! It is totally my favorite pass time and I can't seem to get enough of it. I love the feel of the yarn through my fingers and of course, seeing the finished product. (even with the minor mistakes).

One of my favorite blogs to visit as a knitter is www.whitehorsedesigns.blogspot.com. Check it out. Leslie is my teacher in knitting. She is a master at what she does! If you are new at knitting or just enjoy knitting I encourage you to find a mentor or a knitting group to join. You would be surprised at how much you can learn from talking and listening to others in a group and it is part of building relationships. I love the group I knit with on Wednesdays. It is such a fun and diverse group! I look forward to Wednesdays every week; not always the same group and some may miss a couple of weeks but you pick right back up where you left off. You share things about life, dreams, family, problems, etc...

I love knitting most anything with a lace pattern. Yarns I like to work with are Noro, Blue Sky Alpaca, Rowan and Mission Falls. Knitting for Bradyn and Layla has been so much fun!
A great book to have as a "knitting bible" is:

Vogue Knitting. It is a great resource and I can't tell you have many times I have used the book over the course of the last three or four years. It is a good investment for your knitting library.

Let me know what you are working on and what you like about knitting. I would love to hear from you. Hope to have photos posted soon of recent knits.

Happy knitting!
