Knit one, purl one.

Warm and snuggly for Scotland

Its amazing what you can learn off the internet. Me, I'm trying to learn how to knit. At the moment I can only knit in a straight line, which is somewhat limiting. At some point I will gather up the courage to try some double pointed needles, they just look scary.

A friend very kindly knitted me a scarf for my birthday and it looked amazing. It could have been store bought/machine made as the stitches were so even! The stuff I have made on the other hand has a handmade feel to it (code for slightly lumpy and bumpy). I also seem to have an overabundance of scarves (straight lines!). Good thing I am going to Scotland where it is very cold, or so I have been warned.

At some point, I am hoping to use some knitted pieces in my upholstery. That is if I can gather the patience to knit enough squares together. Its frustrating how long each piece takes to knit and it gets a bit boring by about row 6 of the same pattern. Kinda wish there was a "skip to the end" button. I will however persevere. Watch this space.
