I finished knitting this hat sometime last night. It is based on the basic structure of this pattern, but I modified it and the stitches to an extent. When I make another hat like this, I am going to make it longer to cover more of my ears. I love the feel of it. I [...]

The Scrunchable Scarf
Scrunchable Scarf is a simple pattern, the simplest I have found. I am having a lovely time knitting it up. Believe me, it is definitely giving me plenty of practice with the knit and purl stitches. This is what I have after working for under an hour:

Learning to Knit
Today after all the festivities, I decided to sit down and figure out this 2 needled wonder. I can see how an ambidextrous knitter would be able to turn out projects in no time flat. It’s interesting to watch a creation grow off the needles. I am only on the 3rd row, but it’s interesting [...]
Knit Whimsy!

Knit Purl: knitting terms I didn’t know

It actually means to rip out your work to the point where you screwed [...]
Thread Heads: How To Knit
I have always wondered how to knit and now I know how. My son and I are having a ball watching youtube vids about knitting. It isn’t as hard as I thought it was… well, at least not for the basic knitting projects.
I would probably get a few knitting needles just to make some really [...]
