Over the last few weeks, I've been baking up a storm, but I've since grown tired of it & have begun something new...knitting! I learned to knit over July 4th weekend last year & proceeded to knit obsessively for almost 6 months; I've hardly knit a thing in 2010...until now.
I'm actually part of a local knitting group called Nimble Fingers & we knit hats, scarves, gloves, etc. for North Fulton County Charities. I think the last time I went was back in April, and while I knitted a little while I was there, I've done nothing else sense. Usually when I go, I bring home at least 2 projects to work on; I'm happy to say that I've finally finished 1 scarf & have started on my 2nd one...woohoo!
I have a very cool scarf that I started last year in a pattern called entrelac - I hope to finish it up soon so I can wear it this fall/winter. Since I live in the South & we usually don't have to deal with extremely frigid winters, I love to knit scarves out of cotton yarn; they very soft & cozy without being heavy.
Last year, I actually sold one of my scarves...which was very cool! Since it was my favorite one, I had to make myself another one :)
I'm hoping this passion sticks around for a while so I can make some Christmas gifts...but we'll see how that goes :)
