Do you know you can document your entire stash on Raverly (yarn stash that is), including your tools and projects and future projects?! Now why isn't there a quilting site like this - it really is amazing!
I've started my third knitting project yesterday and learned how to purl. I saw a cowl on Pinterest.com and wanted to recreate it - it was the whole reason to start knitting. I had put off learning to knit because I dreaded the concept of purchasing another whole hobby and stash. But with Raverly, it will be a bit easier to contain it......I hope :)
So, I did a KAL (knit along) at my new favoritest shop - about 20 minutes away from me - Forget Me Knot Yarn Shop. They offer GREAT assistance and free!
This is what if should look like when I finish.
I've actually paid for a Learn to Knit class and it starts today at a different shop, so we'll see what my next dishcloth will look like :)
Good for you for trying something new! I'm sure your cowl will be beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love your post and your cowl. I went on Ravelry the other night and ended up looking at all the cowls and almost started one. I am luakrug on Ravelry if you want to be friends. I wish there was a way that I could knit, crochet and quilt all at the same time. When fall comes around I love working with yarn. Love what you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. Last year I really got into making scarves. Maybe I will get busy again this winter.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to learn something new! Change is as good as a holiday. Yes! you do end up with a new stash for that hobby, I only have a quilting, bear making, doll making, stamping, leadlighting.....Ohhhh the list goes on. shame on me. I say it's great to be creative, keeps the right side of the brain working:)
ReplyDeleteI love cowls. Try etsy, you might find a nice handmade button or shawl pin that you like.
ReplyDeleteRavelry is so fun! I'm always wishing there was a similar site for quilters.
