Independent Knitter!

I'm feeling quite accomplished these days!


My latest finished project:


I did it all on my own! I cabeled without having to franitically call Juli, although I did mess one up and it's going in the wrong direction, but I dare you to find it!


and I placed the thumb hole and did the thumb all by myself too, I did ask Val to help but we never got a chance for some knitting time, so I did it myself!


I've got skills I never knew about!



I haven't stared any socks yet. Juli heard about my new desire to knit socks and insisted she send me some sock yarn. How could I refuse!

I still have to get needles and I think I'll start them soon so that I have a nice small project I can bring with me when I go visit her, I don't think the Hemlock Ring Blanket would travel so well.....Two weeks till my trip!!!! (and so she can help me with it, I've only got a few skills!)


Oh, and here is a pic of my friend with the scarf I made her, she loves it so much!


she got teary eyed when I gave it to her and said noone had ever made anything for her, I guess she doesn't come from a crafty family!


I'm considering starting a sweater I got a kit for, but I think I can kinda put that off for a while, it really is a year-round sweater so it doesn't matter when I finish it.

Other than that, running, I'm up to 7 1/2 miles! a big accomplishment for me, the race is in May so I'm right on track.

I'm gonna try to do a run in March, it's a St.Patrick's day run but it's on the 22nd..... but it's the same course as the one I did on Thanksgiving, so I can compare time, that's pretty cool!
