This box of knitted goods completes my Facebook homemade crafts giveaway. I
sewed something, I made
something out of paper, and I knitted two dish cloths and a hat (in the round, people!). I'm sending this box to my aunt. I'm most happy that I learned how to do this yarn over move to create that little border you see on the top dish cloth. Here's me and how my knitting goes - open book to pattern, wtf are these abbreviations?, research abbreviation and decode pattern row by row, find YouTube videos that explain all the new things, like yarn over and w&t, make a mistake, tear it all out, start again. It's not much of one but it
is a process.
My current project is for Hen from
this book. I wish I could make them all but I'll be lucky to get one done before Christmas. I'm also knitting scarves for several of Hen's boy cousins and friends. And I have two sewing projects to finish in the next three weeks. How did Christmas sneak up so fast?

Is there another process for learning knitting? That's what I do, exactly. Congrats on knitting in the round! and the yarn over and wrap and turn are the only "difficult" things to learn for that baby sweater I did for Mimi.
OK -- not exactly (as Guy Fieri might say) "on point" but interesting and compelling nonetheless :

Did you get Henry's hat all done? It looked really difficult!
It was a jellyfish. And, yes, I did get it done. It is far from perfect - I don't think I read the pattern chart correctly - but Hen doesn't seem to notice. How about the Spiderman blanket? Did you finish?
Yes, finished Spidey blanket and made myself a cowl from that gorgeous Madelinetosh yarn I got that night. I'm afraid that high quality yarn may become a more frequent indulgence.
