Ravelry Account
In order to try and somehow promote my knitting and crochet shop, I have joined Ravelry. I'm not quite used to the database yet, but I'm sure I will pick it up quickly. Hopefully I will be able to keep each site up to date. I'm working on a few new projects, and also have a few "old" projects to complete. I'm swamped with pictures of completed projects which need to be posted. Someday life will slow down and I'll be able to catch up.

Etsy Update
It has been a while since I have posted any new items to my Etsy. I have been so busy making gift items for friends and family, I have become waaaaay behind on my shop.
Here is the first of a few more hand made items to come...
-- Crochet Hand Towel and Washcloths (Set of Three)
The crochet items are among my first completed projects. (I have only known how to crochet for about 2 months.) The bathroom set actually turned out quite well, and I have managed to keep my tension nicely. Soon I will post my knitted sound and texture baby blocks to Etsy. They are quite unique because of their "crunchy and jingly" fillings. I am really excited about this set.

Starting Out
I have always had some interest in knitting, and pleaded with my nanny to show me when I was eight years old. She did, but I couldn't quite grasp the concept and my creations were riddled with holes and of varying widths. After many failed attempts to complete a decent project, I put my knitting away and decided it was not for me.
However, in my first year of college, I was challenged by a friend to knit him a scarf for a Christmas gift. I complied and once again sought the direction of my nanny. She 're-taught' me the basics and I was off. During that two and a half week break in 2008, I had successfully completed three scarves, two of which had cables. I was hooked on knitting.
During the second semester, I made many more scarves, dishcloths, potholders, and even a dog sweater. My 'addiction' has continued and two years later I am still knitting, and have even taught myself crochet. Both of my grandmothers have always been quite clever with yarn, and I guess I have acquired their talent.
Recently, I have started to create my own patterns and have received lots of praise from family and friends for my work. I hope to keep up with this blog and my projects so more people may enjoy the wonders of knitting.
