Today I must finish thank-you notes from the wedding. I've been procrastinating way too long. I love my gifts, but I'm not so good with the note writing. After that is finished I've determined that I'm going to teach myself (and my husband) how to knit. I have decided that I must have a hobby that has a product. (The only other thing I do is read). I started the process last night, and I figured out how to cast on, but step two was a failure. By 12:30 I was very frustrated and gave up. We will see how today goes.
I have also set up my new sewing machine, but I can't decide what to make. I'm a beginner, but does anyone have any suggestions?
knitting! i can never remember how to cast on. ben has like a hundred different ways to do it, though. he's so good.
ReplyDeletei have the book: Lotta Jansdotter's Simple Sewing: Patterns and How-To for 24 Fresh and Easy Project. (long title). i bought it a long time ago and it is my favorite sewing book. it has a lot of quick, cute projects and some longer "weekend" projects. it was worth every penny to me.
here it is on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lotta-Jansdotters-Simple-Sewing-How/dp/0811852571/ref=pd_sim_b_6
