Knitting



I have developed a new hobby. It started in the summer really when I learnt to knit again. I have always wanted to be able to knit things but I've never really known the basics. With alot of help (thanks Lesley) I successfully made a baby jumper. More recently I've been trying out new patterns on my own. Very simple to start with and getting more complex. I made two scarves and a pair of slippers as Xmas gifts and now I am planning on making an adult jumper. I think that might be a long project that might cause alot of frustration.

I spent this Christmas knitting hats for everyone and I even made a hot water bottle cover out of left over wool. Dad bought me the knitometer (with is in reverse in the picture) from an antique shop to help me remember what row I am on etc.
