Awhile back, I ran into an old friend via Facebook. When it was all said and done, she'd managed to sucker me back into knitting with her. It started with an innocent pair of socks and escalated from there. We are both members of Ravelry and enjoy keeping track of our projects there. However, it's easy to find new projects to work on and a new interest in knitting was born.
I've known how to knit for about 12 to 13 years, only I never finished much of anything. It was more of a 'stop gap' for me when I was switching from hobby to hobby and I didn't know what to work on yet. It all boiled down to the quality of the yarn. I splurged on some good yarn recently and that was the end of that. I now have some beautiful Addi Turbo and Addi Lace needles. The best needles I've ever owned. Throw in gorgeous yarns made out of exotic fibers, like sugar cane, and I was all over this hobby.
My yarn box is now filled with luscious yarns and good needles. My queue at Ravelry is lovingly filled with projects I'd like to do in the future. I have yarn wish lists on two different yarn sites. I have even finished several projects. This has turned into a full blown hobby and I'm enjoying it.
I decided to start a blog of my knitting because I tend to get wordy in the project notes on Ravelry. Instead of sharing everything there, I figured it was time for a blog. I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to organize this as of yet. I'll get there though. ;-) Then I'll share all of my amazing knitting adventures with anyone who wishes to tag along.
