So this brings my finishes from the BLCE list up to 6...one more down several to go...but at least I'm still moving forward :cD
Now to part two of taking the plunge. I know I visit many blogs where I've seen beautiful sweaters, socks, and other awesome knitted and crocheted items and say "one of these days I'm going to learn." Well, "one of these days" finally came. When I was at Jo-Anns the other day looking for fabric (nothing jumped out at me though) I wandered over to the yarns and such and found a little teach yourself to knit book that came with needles as well. I knew I had yarn at home (I usually have some for embellishing and simple ties like for a pancho I made) so I went ahead and bought the book. Now mind you its nothing fancy or anything, but I have learned the simple knit stitch :cD
Like I said, nothing fancy and not perfect, but its a start, and I'm pretty happy with it. The little book is pretty cool...clear instructions, good illustrations, and goes through things in logical step by step order. Now I am practicing the purl stitch, and am just going to practice the simple stuff before I try anything else. But hey, I'm pretty darn excited :cD
Well, here at the Country Mouse homestead, weekend = work for me. I'm going to try to squeeze in time for fun stuff between my shifts, and try to keep making progress. Hope you all have a great day! Warmest country wishes.

Looks fabulous on the knitting. Great job! If you get the 100% cotton yarn (Peaches and Cream) from JoAnns or Walmart (it's 1.49) you can make dishcloths while you practice, which last way, way longer than the store brought ones. I love the quilt - I think it's one of my favorites:)
