young knitters...

Well, I guess I have put the cabled scarf on hold indefinitely. I think I'm hesitant to knit a scarf during summer months. It's sooo hot here!!! I started knitting a really cute butterfly dish cloth for my mom. I should be finished by tomorrow, if I have time to work on it.

I taught my 11 year old niece, Devyn, how to knit while waiting in the theater for Harry Potter. She was knitting by herself within 5 minutes! I am very proud of her. She is a very quick study! I took her to JoAnn Fabrics today to buy her a knitting kit. She seems so excited wants to knit all the time. It's cool to have that in common with her. I really hope she sticks with it. She is knitting a belt for her mom right now. I think it's looking great! Maybe I'll teach her the purl stitch tomorrow. :)

slackin'

I have been such a slacker. I'm STILL, sporadically, working on that cabled scarf. It looks great but I just haven't had much time for knitting since we've been in Texas. I thought I'd be doing it constantly and that hasn't really worked out the way I planned. I do, however, have plans with Aimee tomorrow and I'm going to teach her to knit. I hope I can manage that. I don't know how good I really am, but I'll do my best! I'm also going to Jamie's next Tuesday to hang out. Since she's a knitter, too, we'll probably knit and do some crafty things together. I'm looking forward to that. I am still working on getting the courage to knit a sweater. Maybe I'll start with a shrug. I really need to work on my confidence. hehe Well, that's about it for now. It's not much but at least I'm blogging again. I'll try to keep up with it from now on. ;)
