so much yarn, so little time...

I finally finished knitting and felting Beth's backpack purse. The only thing left to do is sew the lining. For some reason, this project took longer than expected. I think maybe I just wasn't into it this time. I love to knit, but I could have been a bit overwhelmed from all the knitting I was doing for Christmas gifts. I'm always knitting things for other people but I have just started making a scarf for myself. I also bought some new yarn to knit socks for my mom. I'm going to be knitting another purse very soon, too. I have had the most difficult time finding the right yarn for the look I want. Not only am I searching for specific colors, it also needs to look a certain way after it's felted. Well, I am hoping to get started on knitting my first sweater very soon. I found a knitting shop in Encino with some very helpful ladies who said they'd love to help me with that. I think I'll do that Saturday afternoon while Clark is being groomed. :) I believe I am capable of knitting a sweater but the patterns intimidate me a bit. Hopefully I'll have some progression photos of my new sweater by next week!
