Very Pink Knitting

I've recently discovered a website called verypink.com.  It's a lady in Austin, TX who makes her living at knitting and how to videos.  She is extremely helpful and informative.  Staci has many wonderful patterns, some of which are available for free, and the rest may be purchased for a reasonable amount.  She also has many free short tutorials.  Staci is an excellent source of information and help.  I encourage anyone interested in knitting or learning to knit to check out her website.

1st Blog

So, I've decided to try out this whole blogging thing.  And since I've decided to learn how to knit, I figured I would write about that.  It has been a little less than a year now since I got the bug up my bum to teach myself how to knit.  I will admit, I haven't been very consistent with it.  Part of that being school as well as work, then as the family knows, the headaches started shortly before that time.  But I have completed one project, I made a scarf for my brother for Christmas.  It turned out well, though it was a bit of a beating since it involved 2 different colors.  But it was great actually finishing a piece.  I'm currently working on another project that I cannot actually discuss at this time because it is a gift for someone.  I'm already through two sets of the pattern and I have started on the third.  I really just thought this might be a good place to write down my experiences so that others who are teaching themselves or are interested in learning, can maybe learn my experiences.
