Knitting

I have always been a half-crafter. I get all excited about making something crafty but somehow it ends up in the land of unfinished projects (somewhat like the land of lost toys?). My husband just sighs and rolls his eyes when I take on a new craft.

First it was the quilt, I made him go fabric shopping with me at 8 p.m. one night because I was going to make a quilt. I made about 8 squares and quit at that. It's sitting in the project basket.

Then my sister taught me to cross stitch. Tons of fun! I made 2 or three, and then quit after starting the 3rd. It got hard? It's also in the basket.

Then my mother re-taught me to crochet. That's fun! I made a blanket for my new nephew. I made a purse for my sister. I started a wrap and that's sitting in my car.

My sister came to visit and was knitting a blanket. It looked fun. She re-taught me to knit. the blanket is sitting about 1/4 finished in the project basket.

Now I want to learn to knit bigger things, and read patterns, and make sweaters or something. Will it happen? Who knows. I like to believe that I'll finish all of these projects and start many more. I like to think I'm crafty...
