I have needles and I'm not afraid to use them.

More like "I have lace patterns and I am FEARLESS."

So I started knitting lace. My first pattern actually turned out really well! I found it in the free section of KnitPicks and really liked it...so I used it as my "learn to knit lace" knitting pattern...not knowing that I definitely could have picked something easier. All things considered, I like how it turned out.



So then I started knitting another lace hat. I am visiting my birthmother on Saturday in Madison, so I figured I'd give her a little belated Christmas present. That is, if I can get it off the needles in time.



I hate the glare in that photo. Sorry.

Finally, my father is receiving his first hand-knitted present: a belated Hanukkah scarf. He said a scarf was pretty much the only knitted garment he'd wear. And we all know how boring scares can be. So I decided to make a textured one. This is a nice variegated yarn with a basketweave texture. Enjoy:



So this is my progress on knitting. And pretty much all I've been doing at home...oh wait. If you can't find me, it's because I'm buried under a pile of excerpts. I emerged to play Final Fantasy today...but I really do need to get back to the knitting...
