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.

It looks nice so far. You're already one up on me. My gma crochets like crazy, I tried to learn, but like you, got bored. Couldn't make my stitches all the same and my scarf was all curly! : ) Wishing you luck on your new adventure!

Ooo...when you learn how...please teach me. I can crochet but not knit. I love the way the needles click!
