i do not really consider myself a knitter. more of a yarn-lover. i do enjoy knitting and have found myself picking up my needles more often as of late. my grandmother was always knitting. my mom learned from her grandfather and spent time over the holidays teaching her granddaughter.
i gravitate to ease. so these toast mitts (beginnings in the photo above and finished in the photo posted below) were a perfect fit. (thank you friend!) and completed with a yummy merino/silk i picked up at purl when i was last in ny. (do not be intimidated by the number of needles. these are easy to do!)
i have just joined ravelry (inspired by rosa's cowl) and have a list of things in my queue.
inspiration abounds. perhaps a sweater is in my future?

oh, and I'm ship shape on ravelry!! yay!
I knit a VERY tight, short red dress (with pink buttons) for my sister's baby tender love for her birthday. She never took it off.
maybe i'm the same sort of knitter you are? because now i have a second pair of toast mitts on my needles - this time in child-size.
ahh - ravelry. so addictive and yet so inspiring!
