So in the past two months of my rare school downtime I have picked up knitting. ^!^
It is extremely fun and very relaxing, and when you live in my house(at least 7 people on a regular basis because it's the babysitter house) a way to get away from all of that sometimes is kinda nice. LOL. Not that I hate my house, I actually love it. But everyone needs those "little vacations" of your own time.
So far I have completely knitted to projects, and am looking for my third. lol.
My first project ever was a black tie, my brother wanted one so I made it.
It wasn't until I was in the midst of this project that I learned black is one of the hardest things to knit with, and that a tie wasn't exactly a beginner beginner project, but either way I prospered. LOL. ^!^
Seee ->>>>>>
My second project was two hundred million times easier and was just a headband with a bow on it. Which I don't have a picture of yet because I knitted it for my cousin who doesn't come over that often lol. But she is supposed to be sending me a picture with it tomorrow. ^!^ She's a Team Georgia girl so the band is black and the bow is red.
So far my knits have came from LionBrand.com and although I do follow the basic pattern, I do adjust them just a bit to something that just feels better.
Such as, the tie, the original pattern was in Seed Stitch, which as a beginner on her first project and in black, I just could not get, so I just went Garter using the knit stitch.
With the headband I just adjusted the "wideness" of the headband because it still looked too skinny with just 7 rows, but then again I am more of a tight knitter than a loose one.
I also recently realized I had yarn and no specified basket for it, so I grabbed a wicker basket that was just lying around my house and then grabbed some of my mothers scrap fabric(she does projects with a sewing machine lol) and then I made a little homestyle yarn basket. ^!^
Sorry for the terrible lighting. I only have one lightbulb in my room, because I really don't like it bright bright. ^!^ The chair the basket is sitting on is my knitting/reading/computer chair. lol. It is the only chair I have ever had in my room and I love it!!!!!! ^!^
Alrighty I think that's about it!
Do you have a hobby that you love doing as well????
