!

I haven't been able to knit as much as I would like because I'm still working on a final project for school (barf). Though I must say (and I will probably be saying this a lot and quite often) that I am learning soooo much about knitting from working on the coat pattern. I would also like to throw in that I'm still working on the very beginning as well as looking ahead and knitting up small sample pieces of the various parts/sections of the coat with extra yarn and needles, I feel pretty good about the thing for the most part...well 3/4 of it anyway. There's about 1/4 that looks kind of tricky to me but I'll get through it. Heck, I still have a lot to learn about knitting. Yeah, I'll make it through to the finish, haha.

Newest Project!!!

Wow it's been a while since my last post...

Anywho, I came across this pattern on Etsy.com called "Angela's Coat of Many Colors" (pictured below) by angelacatirina and fell in love.




The only problem was that it is a knitting pattern...and I don't knit. Well, a few years ago I finally figured out how to do the basic knit and purl but never did much with it and ended up forgetting everything. But after seeing this pattern I decided that I was going to relearn how to knit!!!
So to bring this all up to date, I bought the pattern, began reteaching myself how to knit (thanks to a couple of books), bought some more yarn and needles, and now I'm working on the first part of the coat! Yayness!!!
This coat is going to be one heck of a learning experience, lol. But I'll do my best and try to overcome the possible future struggles that I might have no matter how frustrating it may get! haha
Yes my friends, this will be interesting...
