My newest hobby

Earlier this year I learned how to knit. I'm not that great at it yet so I've been looking for some nice (small) practice objects. I have this scarf pattern that I got for a dollar at the the little craft store close to my house. I made one for myself in nice rich warm tones of red, orange, purple, and yellow. It turned out very nice but I think I probably goofed up on the pattern in a few places. No one notices but me. Now I haven't knit anything for a few months since I was very busy with classes and work so I'm ready to give it another try. A friend of mine bought some Moda dea ticker tape in blues and pink and so far it is making a very pretty scarf.



Look how long it is! I only worked on it for a couple of hours and that includes the times I ripped it out and started over! Too bad my friend wants it to be 7 feet long!!!!!!!



My rows are a little wavy but if you screw with it a little bit it staightens up.

Mad about Stampin' Up!

Now you can see the new Stampin' Up! catalog online!

I'm addicted..... I can't stop thinking about stamping!!!!! I went to a card workshop this past weekend and had a great time. Now I just need to figure out how to use what I have to make some on my own and I need to put together a scrapbook. I haven't printed any of my pictures for over a year now! I only have digital!!!! I am going to start sending them to Sam's club online to have prints made.

And, as if one crazy new hobby weren't enough.... I'm going to a knitting class this weekend. I wanted to learn about this time last year too. I got a book and learned the very basic stitches but couldn't get that darned tension thing down. I bought some cool yarn to make a scarf with but I get a couple of rows and it feels more like a belt than a scarf! Hopefully the class will help!
