Time Flys

I just realized I hadn't posted in nearly a month! I completed my first garment project and have actually worn it, in public, on at least 3 separate occassions! Impressive, by my standards. I was so motivated that I have signed up for the Sock class and have started a new garment, a tank top this time. I am 2/3 of the way through the back already! I owe big thanks to Sophia from Anacapa Fine Yarns for assisting me on Thursday. I still don't read patterns all that well. No one told me I was learning a new language, syntax, and verb conjunctions when learning knitting! The language part still has me a bit stymied. I have however taught myself how to "backwards knit"...another version of perling. Now, first you must understand that as a rank amatuer I can just barely knit forwards, so to have taught myself this 'backwards knit' thing is pretty cool. The trick is remembering to do it every other row!

I have enjoyed reading Bea's, April's, Becky's, and Laura's blogs today. Obviously I spent my lunch time well!

See you all soon,
