...I had a working camera, I could post a picture of my first-ever knitting project. It's a little purple hat for Catie. No, it's not perfect. No, I wouldn't buy it if I saw it in a store (I'd probably say something like, "Did a blind monkey knit this?"). But yes, it fits her! And yes, she'll be wearing it with pride this winter.
On to my next project, which is a hat knit from camo yarn for Will. It'll be from the same beginner instructions as Catie's hat. THEN I'll move on to something more fancy, like a hat on circular needles which I scored at a sweet 40% off sale at Hobby Lobby yesterday.
At first Dave laughed at me for wanting to knit. Then he saw Catie's hat come together. Now he thinks it's hot- like "hot librarian" hot. Hey, whatever I can do to get his blessing for more "me" time.
Do you wonder what you're going to get for Christmas this year? Wonder no more.

That's funny Angie, I said last year that I'd like to take up knitting and Michael almost fell over. I think the thought of me with two pointy sticks just spells danger.
I do want to see the blind-monkey hat though. I am sure it's divine! YAY for knitting. I think it's an awesome hobby and you can make such nice, cozy ditties with it!
OK, Angie...what guru have you found? I can cast on like a champ but after that I can't get it to work. FRUSTRATING. I'm not even bothering with a pattern until I can at least knit a friggin' row. I can't wait for your camera to be fixed so we can see some pics of sweet Catie in her sweeeeeet hat.
Ditto about the camera and seeing your latest (ok first :P) creation!
