Over the past several years I've been a
very casual knitter. As in, knitting about one simple garter stitch scarf annually around fall or winter. However my current situation deems it necessary to advance my skills and my interests:
- I'm currently 8 months pregnant and unemployed.
- Punctuating my days with food, exercise, and copious amounts of web browsing is becoming extremely tedious, not to mention redundant.
- I'm on the road to recovery after abandoning all my crafty hobbies during a bout of depression several years back.
In addition to wanting to regenerate my previous creative outlets, I'm also trying to develop a skill set that will last a lifetime. I want to be able to make my own clothes, to build a coffee table, to think of 20 uses for old mason jars off the top of my head. In the past, I've always had all these ideas. A surge of brilliance which falls flat, collecting dust in my notebooks, as I seek lonely comfort, wrapped up in that sweet, sweet depression. No. I'm ready for a change. No more empty promises to myself.
This blog will follow my knitting projects as I branch out beyond the scarf. I will include patterns, instructions, and pictures for my readers' pleasure. But mostly, this blog will be a documentation of my progress as I become a more well rounded knitter.
