Baptized into Christ

A friend and I have been making banners for our church for a couple years now. This is the first one we did.

Love Day Dishcloth

Here's my February 1st Dishcloth KAL. Its called "Love Day". As easy as it seemed, I still goofed. Somewhere in about the last 12 rows I got mixed up and so it didn't end very pretty. It'll still be functional, so I'll keep it for myself to use. The pattern can be found on file here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyDishcloths/ . I used Sugar n' cream Hot Pink to make it on #7 needles.

Knitting cartoon

I thought this was a pretty cute little comic.

Here's a few pictures of our Monkey.

She got a pink "fur" coat for Christmas and a "cell phone" from her cousin.

She has this new habit of taking her arms and sticking them through the neck hole of her shirt at naptime or bedtime. This shirt happened to be her brand new turtleneck...

And this is DD just being silly. :cp

New dishcloth pattern

I just started a new KAL dishcloth Friday. This one has turned out to test my skills from the start! I have already frogged it atleast 4 times, but it is looking cool! Really lacy looking. But what a challenge!

UPDATE: I never finished this one... it got too frustrating and I was too distracted. Hope to start over some day!

My First bookmark

This pattern was tough. I ended up frogging it about 4 times. There were still a couple mistakes, but it looks so pretty! This was the February 1st KAL at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyBookmarksKAL/http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MonthlyBookmarksKAL/

First Dishcloth

My first attempt at a dishcloth was this wave pattern. I didn't have a good yarn to use, just something unlabled that I found at a thrift store. It turned out all right. This one is called "Catch the Wave" and the pattern can be found at http://vtknitter.blogspot.com .

Another cell phone carrier

Next project was another cell phone carrier. I liked the colors pattern of this one better, but still wasn't what I wanted. I ended up buying one at Hobby Lobby for $2 that fit my needs so much better. This pattern I found at www.chroniclebooks.com called Cell Phone Cozy.

Learning to knit

The first thing I ever made was a scarf for my daughter. Just a basic garter stich, but didn't turn out too bad.

First Knitting Project from a pattern

My first project from a pattern was a cell phone case. I only had one set of needles and one type of yarn available. I wasn't thrilled with it but my toddler loves her new bag. I modified the pattern for an iPod Cover from www.technicolorsheep.com in their free patterns.

My First Blog!

I started knitting New Years Weekend 2007 and fell in love with it! It is relaxing and I can find so much peace in the stitches. I haven't done much with my knitting yet, but I have tons of goals. I hope to start posting pictures soon.

From time to time I plan on sharing what God has done in my life, too. Last year, Memorial Day Weekend, I signed up on a site called www.settingcaptivesfree.com to do an online study called The Lord's Table. Through the grace of God and the lessons on this site, I have since lost 35 pounds and developed a wonderfully tight relationship with my Heavenly Father.

May God bless each of you.
