Finished product!

My first foray into knitting! I finished!! Whee! Reasonably cute, right? The scarf is a teeny bit itchy, because it is a fairly heavy wool. But it's still warm and snuggly! I love the hat, although my seam was terrible. Don't look at that too closely, please. It seems a bit too big, too (for my fat head?! What??!). I have to get with my knitting guru, Jenn, for advice and to discuss plans for future projects. I'm in withdrawal right now, cuz I got nothin' to knit!
But here are some things I'm thinking about taking on:
For M3? (I'll take requests, too. :-))
Some small leg warmers for small girls?
Also for some small girls I know:For my sugar daddy:These last four photos are from the pattern pages of Ravelry, an online knitting community! It's awesome...there are tons of free patterns, advice about yarn, needles, etc. etc. And their tagline is awesome: Where my stitches at?

First Project...

As you may know, I have some free time these days. Perhaps worried for my sanity, my knitting fiend...er, friend...Jenn gave me a "learn-to-knit" kit. I think I learned to knit when I was a kid (Mom? Did you teach me? I mean, who taught me?). Anyway, that skill was long dead until now! I am finding this knitting thing quite addictive!! So here is the beginning of my learning scarf:


Do you see the beautiful needles Jenn got me? And the yarn colors she picked?! Gee-yorgeous! And the prospect of being able to actually make something useful and cute is very, very satisfying. So look out, everyone! You may be getting knitwear for Christmas next year! Even if you live in LA!
