Over the 4
th of July, Janet and L.A. (Arturo's
Step mom and Dad) came to visit us! We had such a great visit.
Janet is a knitter and she brought some of her knitting along. She showed me a couple of things and got me started in a class. The class did not make at first and I was determined to learn so I checked out a few books at the
library and
taught my self a few things. My first project was this
bald-band dishrag. It was so much fun to make and turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.
I got this pattern out of the Mason
Dixon Knitting book (
http://www.masondixonknitting.com/) . I love their stuff I plan to do a few rugs that are in that book someday soon.
Finished Product
The class did end up making, so I am taking a
beginners knitting class which we make a headband and a hat...I am pretty excited about it! I also have tried to start a scarf this weekend, but am having some trouble. I will get it figured out though and place pictures as soon as I have them.
There is a great knitting shop here in town, the Wildflower Yarns and Knitwear (
http://www.wildflowerknits.com/index.html), that is where I take my class and they also have an open knit night on Thursday nights. There are some great ladies that come to the knit night! I have enjoyed
making new friends and getting involved in a group here in Manhattan!
Well, I think that I am about caught up on everything. I think we plan to do some work around here this coming weekend, so I will keep you updated on our progress.
I hope everyone has a great week!
