Forever In Search Of my Muse

~~~~ i can crochet and i love doing it but i have always wanted to learn how to knit. i just do not know of anyone that does it so that they can teach me. i love working with yarn and hand making things for friends and family and there is just so much that you can do with knitting that you can not do with crocheting.

~~~~ i have books that are supposed to teach you to knit but i can not seem to get started. i need to see someone actually do it so that i can copy what they do. i have oodles of yarn and several different knitting needles that i have picked up here and there over the years but still i do not know how to knit.

~~~~ The blankets, sweaters, hats, bags, scarves, and almost anything else you can think of are just beautiful. Yes, i can make all of these from crocheting and i have and do but you can do so many different stitches and patterns and the end product just looks so different from one to the other. i have a lot of the different Knifty Knitters out there but it is just not the same. i want to learn to knit.

~~~~ i love doing crafts and working with my hands and the feel of a great yarn running through my fingers is just amazing. Watching the project take shape and grow because of my work that is not really even work but just a very relaxing way to make beautiful personal gifts for the people i care about. Each blanket, hat, scarf, bag, or purse is a tangible piece of love given to someone. A way to show them that you care and want to take your time to make them something beautiful and useful. Knitting would be just one more way to do this and i so love doing this type of thing.

~~~~ Okay, now that i have rambled on about nothing i need to get off here and go work on the patchwork blanket i am crocheting as a Christmas gift for someone that means a lot to me. i also need to start thinking about what cards i want to make this year for Christmas and Yule.
