I am learining how to knit or rather how to make things by knitting. I already knew the two basic knitting stitches, I just never made anything using them. My goal was to start a knitting project before I turn 30 and I have reached my goal with one day to spare. I will be making a cowl. One with a button that is more like a short scarf and less like a loose tube that fits around your neck. I figure with my hair being gone soon, the back of my neck will thank me when the weather gets cold. I'm going off point here, but that's one great thing about the south - it's almost mid November and we were in the high 60's today. Ok back on track. It's been slow going with the knitting. There has been a lot of starting over, but as you can see by the picture below, I'm making progress. I moan and complain about how 30 is the pathway to being old, but look at me; I'm knitting. A self-fulfilling prophecy.
