Knitting

Knitting has become my newest passion.

Don't get me wrong, I still crochet and not saying anything bad about crocheting, it's just that knitting looks so much more "put together", you know?
I love the patterns, the tiny little stitches, the way it just looks so "right".

A few weeks ago I got this crazy idea that I wanted to learn to knit.
Joanne's has classes but I didn't really want to get involved with the whole traveling back and forth thing so one day I You Tubed some beginner tutorials and in less then a week had this whole knitting thing down pat.

Is it difficult? Actually no. Believe it or not, all you need to learn is two stitches and everything just comes together after that.
It is way easier then crocheting, but, to be honest, the projects do take a lot longer. However, that being said, I love the projects so much more so it is for sure worth the extra effort.

After I practiced the two stitches {knit and purl} my main man, Karlio a/k/a Vinny, bought me two books at our local book store and Ba-Da-Bing, just like that, I've been on a roll.

So far, Adriana has at least six new super adorable hats for the winter.
Now, let's just hope we have another winter like last and she'll get tons of use of of them.
If not, playing "dress-up" will be in her future, cuz she's a wearing them and that's pretty much all there is to that. lol!

I'll have some pic's up real soon of the completed ones, this is from yesterday when I was finishing up a striped stocking hat.



This little almost three year old "Firecracker Diva" is gonna look so stinkin' adorable.
Being a Gramma is one of life's greatest joys, I swear it. :0)



And yes, your right if your thinking there is nothing in this world that I wouldn't do for her, especially when she sends me lil' video clips like that. :0)

Have a beautiful day and TGIF everyone!!
