Wow. My very first post. It’s almost a momentous occasion. But not quite.
Well, my name is Mickey and I’ve been reading tons of knitting blogs for years, but I’ve never had one of my own. So now I’m breaking my lazy streak and giving this a try.
I’ve been knitting for about 4 years now and crocheting for about 2. But I’ve always been kind of lazy with the projects I’ve done. Purses, scarves, baby blankets. Pretty much just one piece knits/crochets that don’t require much effort or thought.
I want to start working on more difficult projects, so I can build better knitting skills than just your standard knits and purls. The last semi-difficult project I started was a cable knit scarf, which I only got half-ways finished and has been sitting in my knitting bin for about a year now. I REALLY want to knit a sweater for myself.
So yeah, I guess there’s not too much to say. My local yarn shop went out of business yesterday : ( and I went down and bought a bunch of yarn. I don’t really know what I want to make it into. I was thinking it needs something with kind of an 80’s look because of the colors, maybe with intarsia, but I still can’t figure out what to do. Any ideas?
I could always make a scarf. : (
