Just a quick update. I hate that I haven't been updating as much as I want. I have to take some pictures of the newest project that I'm working on, a crocheted round baby blanket. I started a blue one awhile back and got frustrated when I had to pull out about 16 rows. I put it aside since my friend was expecting and worked on a blanket for her baby. Quite a few projects later, I thought I'd pick up the round blanket again, but I wasn't sure if I was continuing it correctly. Instead of ripping anything else out, I decided to start a new one using Red Heart Econo Baby in Carousel Print. I'm about halfway done, and I can't wait to finish it.
I went to AC Moore tonight to look for a kit on teaching myself how to knit. My mom taught me how to knit a long time ago, but at the time I preferred to crochet. I had no luck finding the kit, but I did find this small kit to learn how to Knook. Knooking is knitting with a crochet hook. I was curious and had a 50% off coupon, so I bought the kit for $5. The kit comes with 3 knooks, 3 cords, and a book with instructions and 4 patterns. Luckily, the Leisure Arts website has how to videos to help a newbie along. I'm currently working on the purl stitch. Only time will tell if I'm doing it correctly. Once I'm done with my sample stitches, I plan on making the Spa Cloth pattern in the book, since it's the smallest project in there. I'll post my progress as I go along.
