Or to be precise, I've made three. This is my second. I liked it so much
that I made another like it in blue. This scarf pattern is from Vogue Knitting's Beginner Basics. I'm making the cover scarf now. The yarn is yummy. A Colinette thick and thin. Dark blue with a rainbow of other colors. Love it. I do.
Funny, me knitting. A craft I admire. A craft I always thought I lacked the patience to do. But. I've plunged into it, with no expectations. Absolutely none. Mmmmm ... I wonder if that's why I complete my knitting projects, while my sewing projects laugh at me from shopping bags stored here and there. UFOs, they are. At this moment, anyway. Perhaps my knitting will give me the confidence to finish my Mad Men skirt and my Crepe.
What do you think? Do you knit, dear readers?

Oh yes I knit! I knit much more than I sew, since it can be carried with me and worked on while watching a movie or riding the bus. Knitting is typically slower than sewing but takes advantage of otherwise lost bits of time.
Knitting lace is my favorite!

LOVELY scarf! I need to learn to knit—I need to just jump right in!!

Wow, nice scarf and lovely yarn! Sometimes it takes a little trial and error to find the “needle” that works for you, obviously a knitting needle worked for you. For several years I experiment with my DIL to find a needle craft that she would like, it is Crochet. You name it, she has crocheted it in the last year and a half. She loves it. Keep up the great work….does the puppy chase the yarn?

Oh that is so pretty! I do knit but it’s mainly scarfs for myself and I usually start them in the winter and finish them intime for the following winter!

Erika, I joined Ravelry. Do you go to any of the knitting groups they host?
Summer, I like the portability as well. And that you can unknit if you make a mistake.
Debi, thank you. And that is my recommendation: Just jump into it. No expectations.
Celkalee, Atchison loves the yarn! I knitted very little the first month we had him because of that. Apparently, yarn is the BEST toy!
Pin Queen, thank you!

I find it easier to take my time with knitting (you don’t really have much of a choice), whereas I get impatient with sewing and just want things done quickly! It’s also much easier to pick up knitting for just a few minutes – I always seem to feel sewing requires a larger chunk of time being taken out. But I wouldn’t want to give up either hobby!

Denise, I just started knitting last fall with exactly the same expectations… none. Something about the repetitious movement is very calming. Maybe the soft yarn makes me feel cozy, too. I’ve started knitting toys because the projects are small, and it’s too hot in the south to have too many scarves.

Pretty scarves! Yes, I knit, too. I’ve been knitting since I was 7.
