knitting circle

March 28th, 2010

I re-joined a knitting circle I belonged to years ago.  Actually, it was when I was pregnant with Bug. that I left the group.  I wasn’t knitting as much as the birth came closer as I wanted to spend every possible minute with Fuss.  However, I’ve been really wanting to knit more complicated projects than blankets so I thought the encouragement and tutoring would be a good idea.  The woman who runs it is a fabulous, master knitter.  She goes around the table helping those who have questions.  It’s also a wonderful social time as it’s quite a large group.  Amazingly enough, when I walked in a few weeks ago, most of them remembered me.  Wow.  I thought there would be no way after over four years, but that’s knitters for you!

So, what am I working on????  Well…….

That’s just a fraction and they are projects I’ve had sitting around for some time now!  This display consists of 4 pairs of thrum mittens, one pair of cuddly mittens, two wee sweaters and a knitted play farm .  All in various stages of completion, or needing to be put on needles.  I promise to post as I complete them with the help of master knitter Gloria.  Who did crocheted button holes the other day for me.  That’s right - I’ve been knitting all these years and I’ve no clue how to crochet.

Enjoying the journey,  Amanda
