Wednesday mornings are quickly becoming the highlight of my week. They start off with a scone and cocoa in the coffee shop with my buddy
Sarah where we chat about deep and meaningful things for 30 minutes before we take our drinks and head to our knitting class.
I think this passion for knitting may soon be classified as an addiction. I'll keep you posted. So far I've finished a pair of arm warmers (with another in progress), this neck warmer below and I have now started on a little button clasped bag to carry things in my purse. I may very well have just bitten off more than I can chew.
This is one of the many things next on my list. If you haven't tried knitting I urge you to take a class! But first you may want to clear your schedule for all of winter. As for me? I'll be curled up on the sofa with a ball of yarn, my needles and Season 1 of Felicity on DVD.
I think I am jealous, I don't knit but I do crochet and my wednesdays are just long and dreadful
ReplyDeleteCrafty lady! I love Felicity too.
ReplyDeleteLove your neck warmer! I used to play at knitting. You know, knit one, purl 2? I would make big afghans....that was it.
ReplyDeleteKnitting class sounds like fun!
Hugs,
Penny
jen- quick question love your header. how ddid you do it? any pointers or more specific instructions. thanks in advance. diane from vintage-tickled-pink
ReplyDeletegood for you. my girlfriend is taking classes. she made slippers first. i love the scarf. i honestly cannot pick up any more hobbies. seriously not enough time in my day for all of them. have fun!!
ReplyDeleteOk this just so reminds me of that book I read last year about the knitting club...great book, is that where you got this great idea?
ReplyDeleteLOVE your neck warmer! I have always wanted to learn how to knit..always! Hopefully one day I will be able to do it!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I wish I could knit! I'm a crocheter who really longs to be a knitter, but every time I try it feels like I've removed both hands and reattached them backwards. Ma brain jist don't work that way. This has left me living vicariously through other's, such as yourself, who make beautifully warm and cozy things.
ReplyDeleteYou're a regular prodigy!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so gosh danged pretty in that neck warmer.
ps - Can I have your hair?
i learned to knit when i was pregnant with my first. i pick it up here and there and just love the therapy of the rhythm of knitting. you look like you've got the hang of it...and you're right, it is addicting! can't wait to see how your next project looks!
ReplyDeleteI love to knit in the winter. The sound of the needles clicking is so relaxing. Enjoy your new hobby!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a heavenly morning! I love your creations. I will have to try this in my next stage of life with older children!

Wonderful! Have you read the books by Debbie Maccomber called "A Good yarn?" It is a wonderful series about a yarn shop and all the classes and clients that flow through the shop - good reads! SUE
ReplyDeleteJ e a l o u s ! I wish I knew how.. I can crochet but not very well. I do better with imperfect crafts like altered books. I do lots of cigar boxes into little cabinets and such. Wish I lived close to a coffee shop and knitting class!
ReplyDeleteKnitting IS addictive! I've been wanting to take a more advanced class to try to make a baby sweater or something. I hit a road block last winter when I tried to make hats to match my girl's new coats. They turned out large enough to fit an elephant. I'm easily discouraged!
ReplyDeleteOn Jim's behalf I feel I should disclose that you are an indian giver with that snazzy neck warmer. Albeit one super awesome and talented indian giver!
ReplyDeleteI haven't knitted since I was a kid. I am afraid to pick up a needle for fear it would become one more crafting "addiciton" Your neckwarmer looks great! Hugs-Diana
ReplyDeleteI started taking knitting classes last winter but the group just never kept going. I try to keep learning by watching online tutorials. So far only scarves, but I have hopes of maybe something else someday!Sounds like you have wonderful Wednesday mornings!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeletefelicity!! i forgot about that one!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun day that must be....to sip coffee with you in your little village and then go to knitting with you. xo
I love your neck warmer! would also love to learn to knit and i forgot about felicity...how i loved that show...all in all...a tad bit jealous of your day! :)
ReplyDelete1. Jealous. No other word for it.
ReplyDelete2. FPFG is right about the hair. You've got the best hair ever.
3. I can see your picture in the background. And I got really confused about where it is, then remembered that everything is mirror image backwards and it all makes sense now. It makes me want to pop up the stairs and visit with Maddie, and then come back downstairs and pilfer your bookshelf, have some coffee in my "T" mug and curl up on the couch.
Then go to lunch.
A girl can dream, right?
Oh I'm envious! I love the IDEA of knitting, and I'm even a part of a knitting group, but until I finish a (rather large) cross stitch project for my mom, I won't allow myself to pick up a new hobby!
