I
refused to give up on this knitting project, even when I found myself having to
start all over again (three times to be exact). I eventually learned that
markers are a knitters best friend (I’m sometimes slow to grasp the
obvious). I love this shawl and have already started another. Only
thing left to do is block it, but I'm a bit hesitant since I've never done it
before and worry about ruining the yarn.
I
have several other knitting projects planned over the course of the summer,
mostly afghans and fancy scarves to give to my family as Christmas gifts.
Completing this project has given given me a confidence boost in my ability as
a knitter. Still have lots to learn!
I've only been
knitting seriously for about 5 months (I'm addicted!) and here is the first
thing I've made for someone else. I call it the "Hippie Baby
Blanket." I gave it to the daughter of one of our friends who just had a
baby boy at the beginning of March. I used a variegated yarn called "Strawberry Fields."
