It was a rough start, but once I figured out the basics, I was off and running. I have completed a few scarves and an entire baby blanket. People warned me about the addiction of knitting and they’re right; I’m obsessed. I can knit uninterrupted for hours on end. I flew to San Francisco and back and knitted the whole way. A scarf takes me a few weeks; the blanket took months, and had a deadline as that baby was going to be born whether I was done knitting or not.

I am finishing up a scarf for a friend now, and will start another blanket for my cousin who is having a baby in July.  It’s gotten so I am already thinking about the next project while I’m finishing the one I’m on. I can’t say enough good things about the selection of yarn and the kind advice from The Needle Lady. Sometimes it just takes someone telling you, “you can do this,” to get you going.
