I'm a KnitWit!

My MIL taught me and DQ how to knit this summer. I am now completely nuts over it, looking for different needles, different gorgeous yarn, and even "Torn Fabric String".

My first project--a case for my PDA!

It's basic yarn, with a stockingette stitch, and I'm pretty darned proud.

My next, a case for my beloved MP3 player:

It's Chenille yarn and GAVE ME FITS trying to do the stockingette stitch, so after undoing it like 10 times (and the yarn falls apart doing that) I gave up and just stuck with the "knit stitch/garter stitch". MUCH better. I love the softness of this, the plush colors and the celtic button I found.

My current project is a tote bag using "Torn Fabric String" made from strips of batik fabric. OHHHHHH how I love this! So up my alley since I tend to use batiks in my quilts. It's going to be so very neat as soon as I can track down more to finish it.

I'd like my next project to be fingerless gloves; my hands get cold at the computer and other activities where I need the dexterity of my fingers. I'm going to hunt down some yummy natural yarn, perhaps cashmere or even silk or bamboo yarn. But I need more lessons first!

I'll be taking a few custom orders at The Crafty Angel. Hope to see you there!
