welcome to my world November 8, 2008

hi, i’m kit.  i’m a 26 yr old geeky little midwest girl who loves crafts.  i do scrapbooking, mixed media/altered art, knitting, and soon crocheting & spinning.  i’ve created this blog with the idea of sharing my projects & ideas.  i hope you like it & please leave comments/suggestions of things you like on here or things you’d like to see.

i recently won a $100 drawing at my local yarn shop.  i almost squealed on the phone i was so excited.  i never win things…never.  crazy girl yarn shop (http://www.crazygirlyarnshop.com) in coralville, iowa has what they call “the body builder program.”  if you bring in a new knitter, you get your name put into a drawing for $100 shopping spree and the new knitter gets a free knitting lesson.  i’m part of a sunday knitting group, so i happened to have recruited 3 of my friends and brought them in this past month.  so now, i not only have 3 more friends that are knitters, but i’ve got quite a stash built up.

 

i have so many projects started, i’ve lost count.  last time i checked i had 4-5 scarves & a hoodie in the works.  i know i know, but it’s just how i am.  i get super excited about a new one that i forget about the old ones!  ah well, such is life.  here are some of my projects in the works & one i’ve finished:

 

zig zag scarf

 

yellow submarine scarf

 

first cabled scarf

 

my scarf

like i said, i have a lot of scarves…

if anyone is good at designing patterns or can find a beatles blue meanie  pattern, let me know.  i’d like to knit one in on the yellow submarine scarf.  it’s going to be a present for my coworker liz, she’s a HUGE beatles fanatic.

so yeah, that’s a start i guess.  thanks for reading and hope to see you again soon.  i hope to post 1-2 times a week.

toodles!!!
