Drunk on Knitting

Knitting is my latest obsession!
Well I have knitted in the past, but this time around its different.
This time we are serious, and are looking for long time commitment.
And you have to appreciate  the portability of the craft, I can carry it everywhere with me, and continue working on my project.
Also it doesn't hurt that I am taking knitting classes from a lovely lady, who has sort of changed my perspective on knitting.
Here are some of the yummy colors I got last week. This is Cascade 220 wool.


The colors are so pretty, unlike the weather outside. I am not sure what I plan to do with these. 


Here's a "Fear of commitment" cowl that I made for a dear friend. The pattern for this cowl is free, and you can find it here. 


Here is a scarf I am making for Enn. He chose this yarn for himself. And the pattern on the scarf is basket weave pattern.  I could not click a picture of the pattern, perhaps in a better light. 
After knitting nearly 6' of it, he tells me its slightly itchy!  


And unbelievable but true , I am so courageous that I am knitting socks for myself!!! Well I would not comment unless I finish it. But here is the proof of the beginnings.


Thing a day 15

This is just a itty-bitty head\hair band I made for my self. Lately I have had a thing for flower on the side hair band.
Also I made it in a dark color, so that it kind of blends with my dark hair.

Thing a day -10



I know this is late, but it was completed yesterday, it was just too late to post. And I was super tired.
This is my first COMPLETED knitting project. Clearly this was not done in 30 min. but it was my yesterday's thing.
I have been trying to knit on and off since last 1 year. Finally it all made sense, and I could finish something.
Yippie... imagine the possibilities.

My First Crochet porject.!!!



I cannot believe I actually did it...!!!
Ok not the best of work, but it looks much cooler in person and it was a lot of funn..!!

These two videos really helped me achieve it.
1. Basic single stitch video.
2. How to crochet a hat.

Also I would really recommend videos by tjw1963 to learn crochet.

All this has opened a new world of possibilities in crochet for me...
