Getting creative

I finally picked up my knitting needles again. It had been about 10 months since my decision last year to make us all Christmas stockings. In my defense, I did get halfway through one stocking and my knitting bag sat in the living room for a good 2 months after I had stopped. So the intentions were there....

So January 9th, I looked through my patterns, found an easy one, wound some yarn and cast one. Two nights later, I had a hat.



I've joined a forum on www.ravelry.com to knit 12 objects in 2011. One a month. I think if I can knit a hat in 2 days, I can knit 12 items in 12 months. Just need to stay focused.

So in keeping with my resolve to knit more often, on January 16th I cast on for Project #2 of the year. The Prismatic Scarf

I'm using Manos del Uruguay yarn which is fabulous to knit with and should turn our really pretty. Progress pictures to follow...
