Actually this is a thread about knitting yarn, not a yarn about knitting thread.
(that would surely end in disaster...)
I'm a beginning knitter. I suppose I could be an advanced beginner, since I've succesfully completed several projects now.
I find that knitting is the perfect kind of calming meditative activity for when I've got 15 minutes on my hand and am waiting anxiously. I can even pack my stuff and keep it in my school bag for those odd moments when I don't quite want to be chewing my fingernails.
Here are some of the projects that I'm working on right now
I'm knitting a dissertation. The results section is nearly complete...
I'm knitting a unisex baby cardigan (my first ever sweater) in chunky red eco-wool. My best friend is having a baby, and she won't find out whether it's a boy or a girl. I figure I'll send her both kinds of buttons, and let her sew little girl buttons or little sporty boy buttons on. (she's a crafty type too)
I'm also getting ready to start work on a rib-knit shell in baby pink merino wool for me. Hopefully it will be stretchy enough to accommodate my ample llurpsiness. I'm thinking I can wear a black top underneath it, since it's kind of like an open netty-knit.
And my husband has placed an order for a knit cap. He even went to the yarn store with me (that's TRUE LOVE) and picked out the yarn he wants. It's orange super-bulky.
back to the sleeve. baby sleeves are so quick. I cannot imagine knitting llurpsie-sized sleeves...
((((easy yarn))))
