ta-daaa!

There she is! My first knitting project. Not exactly a FO (finished object), more like practice. But I like to call her: bookmark. Oh, yes. I am one proud momma and hardly even notice her imperfections--as a new momma should. When I gaze upon her, my eyes don't naturally go to the gaping hole in her middle, the sloppy stitches or the weird impromptu tied corner (It took me a bit to get the hang of binding off). Nope, I hardly even remember they're there.

I'm actually near finishing my second knitting project so I guess the old Stitch 'N Bitch is doing the job pretty well. My honey, who I mentioned was sweet enough to buy me the books, was initially turned off by the name, but then I showed him this project.

I might have mentioned something about wearing this when I knit. But, now, he's anxiously awaiting the development of my skills. The sweetheart! It is so good to have a man who encourages your interests.

HA Ha! I love that...sounds like something my man would do. I have that same book too. Although I have not attempted any knitting. I'm waiting for my sister to move back and teach me.

Very nice! keep on knitting -- I can tell you that after having knit for about 50 years that you never stop learning new things about the craft -- welcome to the sisterhood!

and yes, men knit too, so perhaps you can interest the hubby in joining in -- or at least teach him some of the the lingo!

Congratulations - it looks pretty good and your stitches seem even for the most part! My friends don't like the 'bitch' part either but can't think of anything cooler and kinder to call ourselves - any ideas? Knit and Natter doesn't sing at me...
