directions can be helpful


Ok, so I tried to knit my first sock ever and it was looking great... at first. I didn't have the right size of double ended needles so I though I would just use a few less stitches. Well, it all worked out until I had to work on the heel. Apparently, it is important to follow directions exactly every once in a while. At least I know what I am doing now.



While I'm waiting to get a new pair of double-ended needles, I've started another project. Meet my grasshopper coloured shawl done in feather and fan. I was so excited when I discovered feather and fan online. It makes it look like I actually know how to knit well. The only problem, I need more yarn. I only have one ball of this colour and I have a sneaky feeling that I'm going to run out half way through. I think I'll pick some up sometime this week.

It's also my birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

done, done, done


Finally, my beautiful green scarf is finished. I'm so happy with the way it turned out.
