I just finished the largest knitting project I have undertaken thus far. I completed the Big Bad Baby Blanket from Stitch-n-Bitch for a wonderful couple. Lee and Ashely Saylor are expecting the birth of their first child, Thomas, next month, and I spent the past four months knitting a baby blanket for them as a gift.
As I have mentioned in past blog posts, I have recently become obsessed with knitting. I am currently working on no less than 6 projects simultaneously and have a growing stash of knitting needles and yarn. I knit while watching tv, in church, at meetings, hanging out with friends, in the car, and on planes. I knit gifts, household items, clothing, etc.
Recently some new people have stumbled across my poor neglected blog and commented that they enjoyed reading it, which has given me the urge to write again. In the past, I blogged about my life, my work, family, technology, and posted humorous videos among other things. However, I am not sure what form my writings will take this time around.
I recently finished my first two sewing projects: a knitting needle holder and a matching bag. This was my first endeavor into sewing, and it was quite an experience. While my projects are by no means perfect, I am very pleased with how they turned out. Sure, some of my seams are less than straight, as much thread may have gone into huge knots as went into the actual sewing, and I may have broken the needle on the sewing machine, but in the end I have two great items I actually made.
