Whew!!!
Its been a few weeks since my last post, so I thought it would be a good idea to get another one out.
I've been diligently working on my scarf. I have about 3 and a half inches done. I know, its not much, but its all neat and I haven't picked up a stitch due to counting each row upon finishing it. I am aiming to get it done by fall.
I've also been busy organizing all my knitting paraphernalia. I found an old, unused set of plastic drawers that are perfect for storing my yarns, pattern books, and other knitting things. It has three drawers and each holds different things. The top drawer holds my needles, stitch counter, and other things like my needle gage. The middle drawer holds my pattern books, and the bottom drawer holds my yarns. I might have to eventually get something bigger, as my yarn collection will undoubtedly grow, but for now, the drawers will do nicely.
Another thing that I've done since the last post is buy three new lovely skeins of yarn for my stash. They are from the Red Heart Super Saver collection. They are the Plum Pudding, Candy, and Bon Bon prints. I can't wait till they come and I can actually hold them in my hands. I guess you could say that I am a yarn hoarder, as I've also bought the Monet print from that collection too. Sure these aren't the fanciest yarns, nor the most luxurious or expensive, but I find that Red Heart yarns are great for beginners like me to make projects out of and otherwise practice new techniques on. Someday I might delve into more luxuriant yarns, but for now, I am sticking to the basics.
