I have expressed
before that I prefer craft projects that are simple and fast. Once I learned how to knit I was pretty pleased with my simple scarves and may have made ones in different colors for the rest of my life.
It is true that I branched out and made Ciaran a baby blanket, but let's face it - basically it was a larger scarf. Well, things are going to change. My friend Melanie learned how to knit and has branched out from scarves to hats, stuffed animals, and wraps. She thoughtfully sent me the pattern to the hat recently and I am proud to say it is almost done. I have always said that great friends are ones that bring something to the table.
Thanks Mel for the inspiration! Umm and Maeve, I hope you are not less impressed with the baby blanket ;)
Haha- I just saw this. Thanks for being so sweet and thank you for bringing the whole idea of knitting to the table! I'm obsessed. We'll see if I've gotten in over my head with the little sweater ...
ReplyDeleteOk Melanie, I think it's time we find something you're NOT amazing at!! But I fear we won't be able to! These are beyond fabulous, I'm so impressed. Don't worry L, Ciaran is still snuggling away with your blankie so you've impressed the one who really counts! xo
ReplyDeleteThanks - you're so sweet. But as you said, its really important that people like what you give them, and Ciaran looked quite cozy with the blanket! Very cute.
