But, no matter, because now I've knitted six, which means that I only have two more to go! I started my mom's handwarmers, by my very own pattern. I'll post it here when I'm done with the second one. So after two dishcloths and a handwarmer, all I have left to do is knit Ed a hat. I decided that even though he doesn't really wear scarves or something, a hat would be a good gesture.<br /><br />Oh, and I have to weave in the ends, on like, everything! Literally, one dishcloth is officially completed, and everything else still has their ends exposed. That's two hats, a cowl, five dishcloths, and a hand warmer. I think I'll leave that until I'm done everything, because then it's like the home stretch!<br /><br />The yarn for mom's hand warmers is a mystery yarn. As in, I knew what type it was and everything, but then the tag seemed to escape me. If I see the brand name, I'm sure to remember. It's this really great wool/mohair/silk blend, and I really want more.<br /><br />Pattern up in a few days! There's just one thing that I would have done differently, but I'll save that for the next time I make this, as I've already halfway finished it.<br /><br />I'll be writing to you another time... If there's even anyone there.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1704818382279425724-3279096260507459189?l=alwaysknitting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kaitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05599003492127614191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704818382279425724.post-17855747922772427922011-11-23T19:40:00.000-06:002011-11-23T19:40:03.613-06:00Lately, I've been under the impression that the only thing that I'm good at is my knitting. Myself, I am a hard working junior who will be seventeen in just two weeks. I get okay grades, typically B+ to As, and I'm well involved in school. I'm a bit of theatre geek, I do school dance, and I'm a part of many clubs. College is looming around the corner, and needless to say, I'm terrified. I feel like everyone should know by know what they aspire to be when they're older, but if you ask me, you're only going to get the vaguest of a description: something to do with English. I don't know what I want to be, and often I don't even feel like I'm adequate in writing. But, I love to knit. If only that could be my career.<br />Then, I got the idea to make this blog. I just thought that maybe, if I can combine the two, writing and knitting, I won't feel so bad about not knowing what I want to do with my life. And maybe, it'll help me decide.<br /><br />Right now I'm working overtime on the holiday knitting. On my needles, I have a paw print dishcloth, which is a part of a set of dishcloths for my grandma. My mom is getting some too.<br />So far, I have knit:<br /><br /><ul><li>A hat, for my grandma</li><li>a cowl, for my mom</li><li>another hat, for my dad</li><li>three dishcloths</li></ul><div>I hope to knit four more dishcloths after I finish this one. Hand warmers for my mom are currently on needles. I'm thinking a couple ornaments for stocking stuffers, and I need to knit something for Ed, my mom's boyfriend. And maybe, if I get around to it, I'll knit up a stuffed animal for my cousin.</div><div>The best wishes to you, and for me! I'm not usually very good at keeping up with things, mind you.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1704818382279425724-1785574792277242792?l=alwaysknitting.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kaitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05599003492127614191noreply@blogger.com0
