Knitting

I recently took up a new hobby thanks to my friend, Carrie, who got me started. The first couple things I knitted were dishcloths and they were pretty easy. One had a heart in the middle and the other one had an "E" in the middle for Egbert. They turned out pretty well. So I decided to take on a bigger project. My sister, Elise, is having a baby girl this month so I thought it would be nice to make her some baby booties. This is how they turned out.



I was really happy with them. Of course there are many mistakes and I think one is actually bigger than the other, but all in all they turned out well. Knitting is a really easy skill to pick up. I'm sure there are way more challenging patterns, but I'll have to take it step by step to get there. I have to give a big shout out to YouTube because that's basically where I learned everything. It's incredible how many videos there are about about knitting.

I think the booties are precious!

    Thanks for the shout out about my awesomeness again. My favorite saying for a tee-shirt? "Without me it's just aweso" I find it very appropriate. Luv ya and luv the booties!

    Those are so cute Christie! Good job. I've made dishcloths before but have yet to venture further in crocheting.
