One of my Hobbies

Scarf I made.

I have gotten to where I really enjoy knitting. I actually currently have 3 different projects going on at once which luckily I can keep straight. Jerrod bought me for Christmas a set of long knitting looms, which are really cool. Makes knitting scarfs and pieces of knitted blankets go by very quickly, and you can knit it double sided, which makes it just a little thicker. I love them!!!!!

I have made me a new scarf, which I haven't really been able to use since it has been unseasonably warm this winter. I'm working on knitting Kylie a blanket, that is hot pink, and then another beige afghan for the living room. (that way Jerrod and I can both have one when its cool in the house!)  Kenzie wants me to make her a new scarf also, so I will start on that one soon also.

I made. 

I also am currently working on how to learn to knit flowers. (So if any of you that know how to knit flowers have any advice I'm up for the tips!!) I think it would be cool to learn how to do those, plus I just think they are pretty. I told Kylie that I was going to learn how to make them and she asked if when I do and finish her blanket if I can attach a few on the blanket for her, so I told her I would try to do that. 

Once I get a few more of the projects I'm working on I'll get them posted no here for you too see also! Hope you enjoy!!

Till Next Time!!!! 

Working on an Afghan

Afghan I'm working on

 A while ago I taught myself how to knit. I will be the first to tell you I am not the greatest at it, but I try which is pretty good. I work at it when I have the time, which lately is when the girls are at school and Gabryle is napping, or at night after the kids go to bed.

Right now I am working on a small afghan. I'm halfway through with it so far and have already had Mackenzie ask if I can make her one when I get done making the one I am doing right now. I've almost gone through two fourteen ounce balls of yarn and will do at least one more. (the ball in the corner of the couch is what I have left of the second ball.) I'll also add some claret colored fringe to the ends when I am through with the beige color. I've found it actually pretty relaxing to sit and knit for a while. Occasionally I'll work on it while the kids are off playing in the bedrooms, but not all the time.  

I know it doesn't look like much at the moment, but when I have it completed soon I'll make sure and post some pictures for all to see.
