Crazy for Knitting

I never thought I'd have the patience or brain power to learn to knit! However, once I discovered that first graders in a Waldorf school learn how to knit, I figured I should be able to learn how. Plus, I have been reading lots of books lately on somewhat complicated subjects and I thought the knitting might help me integrate the information.

The middle two hats were knitted on a loom, so I didn't really "knit" them. I've made several other baby hats on a loom but they are on the heads of various friends' babies and I never took a picture. I found bamboo yarn at Michael's and it is divine--the perfect ultra soft yarn for babies.

The washcloth, kitty, and the hat and scarf were done with knitting needles. All of these things are quite imperfect but I love them anyway. It's so neat to think I did it myself.

My next goals are to learn to knit a moebius basket and possibly take a weaving class. That all depends on whether I get my garden in the ground in a reasonable time frame. Planning it is taking up all of my free time right now!
