A few years ago my sister Nicole, who is an awesome knitter, taught me how to knit. I completed a small scarf for baby Davis and then just practiced, practiced. Naturally, I got bored and just stopped. Over the years I would pick up my needles, but I couldn't remember how to cast on properly or I would make a mistake and not know how to fix it. Oh, that did not stop me from buying nice yarn whenever I was with Nicole. Funny how that happens huh?
So now I have all these balls of yarn at my house. They look so sad and lonely. So about two weeks ago when I knew I would be seeing Nicole, I brought my knitting and got a refresher course. I feel like I finally got it now. I enjoy sitting in bed, watching some mindless TV and knitting. {Housewives of Orange County anyone? yup. I'm admitting it. Boy is that Tamara a mean girl or what?}
This is my practice scarf. I am going to rip it all out and start again now that I know what i am doing. Nicole thinks I should make a sweater and I think she is right. Then I will feel like I am investing my time and yarn money into something worthwhile. What do you think? Am I being too ambitious? Should I work on something smaller? Let me know what you think :)
