Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post here. I took up the hobby of knitting over the wintertime. Thanks to Amelia who is a whiz at it. I thought it’d be nice to try a new challenge that was completely out of my personality. It’s getting hard to find new things that aren’t “me” but I think knitting was definitely one of those.
So, I thought, why not take care of a few things at a time? My sister just had a baby, Isabella. I’m getting ready to fly back east and visit them and what better present from Uncle Matt than a knitted hat, right? So I started on the hat, and boy… what a task! The book said it’d only take about 2 hours and this would be a “fun & easy project!”. Well, 20 hours later, I finally cranked out a hat for lil’ Bella. Here she is in all her beauty below.
Not too shabby for my first project, eh?! So, I found a really cool pattern online for another hat and decided that my other neice might get jealous if she didn’t get one, so below you can see the butterfly hat I made for Lexi. I gotta say that I impressed myself – and even though this one took 20 hours, too – I feel I really am starting to understand this whole knitting thing.
Merry Christmas to both you girls & I’ll be back east soon!
