Finito!

5 02 2008

I finally finished my basketweave scarf. I think I did pretty well for someone who just learned how to knit. Tomorrow I will be going to class to knit a washcloth and after that my next project is to knit a hat. Knitting Rocks! :-)

I am in the process of making this white basketweave scarf. I am almost done and I cant wait to post a picture of my scarf.

I think I know where my camera battery charger is. It’s probably at my mom’s house. Let’s just cross our fingers.

ETA: I found my battery charger, among other things, at my mom’s house. I guess she had it since we came back from Nigeria. I’m relieved now. Now I can post my pics.



Beginning of another hobby

3 02 2008

Yesterday, I just signed up to take a knitting class near my house and I am excited. All weekend, I have been researching and looking up patterns and projects to knit. My first class is this Wednesday (if I am able to change my hours at work). My “teacher” said we will either be making waschloths or scarfs. I may want to make a washcloth only because I dont have one and making a scarf I can do that at home. Or in fact, I can make both.

Anyways, I want to post pictures of all of my work. Unfortunately I misplaced my camera battery charger and I cant post any pics. The battery is dead. I believe its somewhere in my house and not in Nigeria. I will keep looking. If not, then I will have to buy one. Anyways, wish me luck and pray that i get this knitting thing down pat so I can make a nice sweater, hat and a pair of socks.



I want to knit so bad

28 01 2008

I dont know what to do. I want to learn how to knit/crochet but I am just too busy to learn. I would love to knit a cute sweater or a pair of booties for my baby. Why pay $50 for a damn sweater where I can knit one for about $5 (materials included). And I can make it the way I want it to look.

I dont know. I guess I will join some time of knitting group and learn before I am pregnant and pop out my first baby. LOL! We shall see.

For those who are interested in knitting, I found this cool website of this woman/mother who knits for her family and it’s too cute.

A friend, from work, and myself are having our first meetup in Hoboken, NJ. It’s called “Sew Mates”I thought of the name myself :-).  We are asking anyone, from beginner to expert, who has an interest in knitting, sewing and/or crocheting to spend some quality time with us. We can all share a few tips/ideas on improving our skills. Please click on the image below and sign up. Thanx

P.S.- We are Not experts at all. So if you have skills, please come thru.
