Dabbling in Stranded Knitting

Well, it was time to learn something knew and practice for my next big project. So, I decided to knit up some practice swatches. I think they turned out nicely, actually. The only problem is that I am struggling to find a way to hold the yarn, although I may have remedied that situation.

New Stitch a Day

Hey y'all, I joined another knitting site. What do you know. This one is called "New Stitch a Day" and although I don't really know how to use the site, I got turned onto it from this guy's awesome knitting tutorials on youtube. This is my referral link or something like that:

Finished! Cantaloop scarf

Finally finished this thing, and only because I ran out of yarn. Haha. I stitched it together because I have a major thing for infinity scarves. Oy vey. Anyway, now I can finish that damn hat of jacks and that blanket. Now I have motivation for this hat because the next pattern I want needs those needles....

The Struggle is Real

I don't understand the stereotype of crazy cat ladies knitting. Because it is a STRUGGLE to knit with a cat. Honest to god.

Next Project?

I saw this online and I want to try it once I make up a few swatches of color knitting as practice. The only question is what. And also I have no money, so I would need some yarn. That too. I was thinking maybe a knitting tote? And perhaps I could try felting it, which would also be a new experience?

Knitting for MEN

I am of the firm belief that men should knit, and that it should be socially acceptable. After all, there was a time when men were master knitters, and women couldn't even participate!! There are some guys in knitting club, and I love them to death. Also, watch this:

I mean, really. How wonderful would it be to sit and knit and talk with your boyfriend? I guess really I'm saying that I want a boyfriend who can knit.
