Well its almost Christmas. I'm getting a loom for Christmas but its coming after the new year. I finished my knitting well except the one for Mom. I got all my shopping done for friends and family. The Christmas tree is up. The goodies are made and I started my New years resolutions. I won some yarn for Christmas I'll admit it I did a happy dance. I'm all caught up on my podcasts. I highly recommend these ones if your a knitter.

In the throws of the Christmas spirit we decorated the house for the holidays. We have yet to do the tree but we have everything else up. I had to go backward on my knitting and frog a little bit because I wasn't reading the pattern. lesson learned. I have started Christmas shopping. I won't go into details but I am making most of my presents to give this year. I started crocheting again and it reminds me of my grandma. She first taught me how she didn't know a thing about knitting but she could crochet really well. I have no idea what else I should write about. So if there is anyone out there actually reading this I would love some input. I was thinking I should do a project once a week or at least follow along with another blogger. like moogly or sew can she or something like that. I also want to do craft book reviews, craft tool reviews and the like. Tell me what you would like to see me write about.

It's all about the gift knitting.

I've got at least four projects going and wishing for Christmas to get a loom. I have two people done on my gift list but I am waiting on Christmas wish lists for more information. I honestly don't know if I am going to finish in time the scarf I am knitting for my mother. I have drop spindles and fiber maybe I'll just give it a whirl(see what I did there). Wondering what everyone else is making for Christmas. Anyhow hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving.

It's snowing. Well it is that time of year. I love it when it snows I just don't love trying to drive in it. So today is a day to stay in and knit on some Christmas presents. I haven't learned to spin yet that is still on my list and so is weaving. I have decided that until I get a job I'm gonna volunteer at the animal shelter. I even finished the orientation. They also have an option where you can make the homeless cats blankets. So I want to do that too. I also found a pattern on Ravelry for paw warmers for when they go into surgery. I don't know if I am going to try that but it sounds promising. Happy Snow Day!

I suppose I should write a little about myself. I grew up in Washington state. Still live there. I am a Christian and a knitter. I would love to learn a new language and how to spin yarn. I will be volunteering at my local animal shelter for a while as I have been out of work for a while now. I love indie dyed yarn and fiber. Just right now I can't afford it. So right now I'm using my stash. My favorite time of year is Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving to remember how grateful I am and Christmas for giving. I love to give presents to people I get a rush from it. I have a knitting group at a church that I attend and am saving up for spinning classes. Thats me. Anyhoo happy knitting all.

I have been knitting for a year now. I'm starting projects that are garter stitch and easy. I've started a queue on Ravelry of the projects I want to do next but for now this is as far as I've gotten.
 
I've also got an interest in spinning from a drop spindle. They have a class at a local yarn store that I want to go to to learn. Ill keep you all updated with my progress.

I've started cross stitch. We'll see how this goes. I am taking a Craftsy class and gathering all the materials. I have already learned the basics of knitting and crochet. I want to make art quilts too. I got alot of stuff on my plate. I also want to learn embroidery too but in time right now I'm learning alot. So I am gonna blog about it. Someday i'll have pictures for you once I figure out how to.
