Learning to Knit

Let me first start out that I can crochet anything from baskets to afghans...but knitting...PLEASE! I consider myself pretty crafty. I had to give it a try. I have always wanted to learn how so here I go. I thought I would start out simple....Like a scarf. I love scarfs!! I mean LOVE them. I thought the green and blue would make a funky one. With the chilly Indiana winters, I hate to be cold and after Christmas, I am over the snow and cold air. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas with warm weather. How do they do it down south? I pray that I get it done before Spring so I can actually use it. It is coming along pretty well, considering I am teaching my self from the internet. Ha!
I have been working on it for about a week now when I get the time. Waiting on Katrina to get out of preschool in the car, sitting at Micky D's watching the kids play, or just giving up on laundry at night while I am watching TV and knitting a couple rows. This takes forever. I hope I don't get bored. I have seen such beautiful things made by doing this. I have a problem with finishing something once I get bored. I am determined to make this beautiful scarf. Wish me luck.

Halloween Night!


Here are my little devils all dressed up and ready to work for that candy!!

Taylor as a Wicked Witch.....and showing her wicked side....she was tired of Mom taking pictures of everyone. Ready to get down to buisness.


My sweet Katrina, will smile for any camera, as Strawberry Shortcake!



Who could of guessed that Nick wanted to be a firefighter. Well Daddy bought him a whole firefighter suit at FDIC this year, so he kinda had no choice....LOL!
They all were very successful at bringing home a loot of candy for dear Mom. Thanks Kiddos!
