Christmas Knitting

This year I am not taking on a huge load of knitting. I have two stuffed animals for my nephews, and a couple of scarves. Maybe I will find time to knit some stockings for Christmas decor.

On My Needles

Christmas knitting has begun! Last year I knit for my older nieces and nephews...this year the little ones. I love doing cute little toys like the hippo I am working on now. Double pointed needles once a feared concept are now something I look forward to and enjoy!

Picking Up Needles

A wonderful feeling comes over me when I slip yarn around a knitting needle, even if I haven't knit in days or weeks (maybe more so the longer it has been since I knit). It is connecting with an old friend, the familiar feel and automatic movements made without thought. Knitting relaxes me and helps keep me grounded.  Knitting a favorite pattern adds to that warm feeling and memory.

Katharine and Audrey Knit

I love to see people knitting out in public or finding out a friend of mine is a knitter as well.  To see Audrey and Katharine knitting just makes me happy!

Fun things to Knit

If you ever browse Ravelry or other knitting sites, you can find a lot of interesting things that people choose to knit out there.  I have to admit some I just look at and ask why.  Some, however, I look at ask why not?  Courtesy of Pinterest here are some why nots.
