New skill!



Yesterday at knitting, I learned a new skill.
I started making the Fetching armwarmers.
I bought brand-new needles for them, and I also learned how to cable!
So far I really like cabling. It's easier than it looks, like a lot of things in knitting.

I'm about 10% done with the first warmer, so we'll see how much I like cabling at the end of it.

I'll post some pictures ones I get a proper camera.


Edit: Remember what I said about pictures? Well, I haven't got a camera yet. But I do have a camera phone, so that'll have to do for now.

Stitch n' Pitch

Yesterday I went to a Twin's game with my knitting group. In total, it was me, Ginger, Kat, Amanda, and Emily, plus Ellie tagged along and knitted with us. I got a ticket with Joe Mauer on it. <3 He's my Twin's boyfriend, according to Kat.
Yesterday was the Stitch n' Pitch event, so you were supposed to bring your knitting to the game. I worked on my kitty-ear'd hat.

It was really fun, and I'm really looking forward to next year.

I feel like a bum for not posting since July..

I finished that scarf I was working (notable, not by "Next Tuesday"). I've also finished the Hannah Hat (the lovely blue one I was working on), and two Calorimetry's, one for me, and one for my good friend Laura. Hers is purple--mine is dark blueish. I don't even like blue that much. That just happens to be what I've used so far.

Currently I'm working on a "Floopy Hat" for my boyfriend, John. It's basically a Link hat. I'm really excited to make it! I've already had to start over three times. Once because I forgot to make sure it wasn't twisted before I joined it, once because I was on the wrong needle size, and once because I knit an entire row I was supposed to purl, and somehow got an extra stitch in there, and I had no idea where it came from.

Also, for anyone who cares, you can find me on Ravelry.com as "MuffinSquire."
