Stitch by stitch

So o few days ago I taught myself how to knit. It funny when you don't have a lot to do, and so you have to find new things to occupy your time and the types of things you find to do are the things you never thought you'd be interested in. Things like knitting. Well I have discovered that I like very much to knit, and that it can be very relaxing. It would be even more so if I didn't have such horrible posture while I'm doing it. So I am currently making myself a scarf. One stitch, one color. I though that would be the easiest thing to start out with, and when I am finished I can look at it, judge it, get and outside opinion, and then really find out if I'm good at it or not. Because then I will know whether I am ready for more intricate work .... like a mitten .... or a sock, because I don't know if I'm ready for the thumb yet. Whatever it may be I'm already excited for the challenge. Wow, I'm sure you are thinking "this poor girl, what brings a person to be excited about kniting?" Well, you know what? I am and darn proud to be too. Just wait until you pay $35 for your very own scarf, and I'm sitting comfortably itchy in the one I made myself. Then you'll understand. Oh ya, and I have to give "props" to all the Grandma's out there who make afghans for every grandchild, and hat & mitt sets for all the nieces and nephews. Because my nuckles already hurt and I have only done about 8 rows!!!
