LOOK SHELLEY
11 12 2005
I finished my first knitting project today! Of course, last week it was butt-ass cold here, but now that I finally finished my scarf it’s like sixty degrees outside. Go figure. I chose yellow to match my new Navy pea coat. I had been looking for a pea coat for forever, but I could never seem to find one that fit right, or didn’t cost a bazillion dollars. I found this at a thrift store in Tulsa for $15.00. Woot! It still has its rank on the sleeve. I’m a Petty Officer Third Class with a rating of Boiler Technician. How cool is that?!
My next plan is to knit me up some matching mittens. I’m still a little confused about how to go about that, so we’ll see.
You are too cool!!!!
I have not tried mittens; you may have to use 4 double points to knit in the round.
Wow!!!
Good job on the scarf, and congrats on scoring such a great deal on the pea coat.
I haven’t tried mittens yet, either. Double-pointed needles and knitting in the round intimidate me.
That’s what I’m afraid of. The two sets of instructions I have say nothing about needing more than two needles, but they do use the double pointed ones and then there’s all this crap about spacers or markers. I may buy yellow mittens.
