Wow! Hi there. For those who are browsing, my name is Laura, and this is my birthday present from my fabulous husband. Isn’t it cute? I have been reading and commenting on knitting blogs for a few months, and now I have one of my own! Happy Birthday to me! I turned 29 yesterday (that’s the real 29, not the endless 29. Next year I will be 30.) and we had a great day in Seattle with the kids. I am going to be spending awhile trying to figure out how to set up the blog exactly how I want it, so please stop by often to view my progress.
As for today’s post…..HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAYLE! Gayle is my friend, and it is her birthday today. I hope you have a beautiful day, despite the weather.
Next, I have found that reading blogs cuts considerably into my knitting time, so for that reason, along with the fact that cash is pretty darn tight right now, I haven’t been knitting much in the past month. I can feel the lack, and I must remedy the situation soon. Especially now that I have an official place where I can brag, um, I mean blog about my projects. It is highly enjoyable to discuss knitting with people that understand and love knitting themselves. With the exception of Gayle and my sweet husband (who only fits into the first category), I don’t have any knitting friends. My close friends have no interest in knitting whatsoever. I have three little princesses at home with me that make it very difficult to go out and join knitting groups. I NEED KNITTING FRIENDS! This is why I wanted a blog. I have learned much from reading knitting blogs, but I can hardly go on and on about my own projects on the comments page of another.
As of right now, I still don’t have a digital camera, but I hope to have a session with my neighbor’s soon so that I can show everyone the things I’ve been working on.
Last year was quite knitting productive. I will get a gallery up when I can. This year, I have made a number of cool things, which I hope to show you soon.
Welcome to all. I’m going to sign off now, and look at the software manual to try to figure out how to set up stuff in the side bar.

Just for the record, you do have one friend that wants to learn how to knit, along with all the other needlecrafts, she just hasn’t sat in one place long enough to actually learn. She even inherited lots of knitting and crocheting implements! And she has yarn too! All she needs is time, and some instruction, of course.

Excellent! I didn’t realize that. Just let me know….

Laura, I’ve met a few knitters through a local stitch-n-bitch group called the “Purlygirls.” To learn about future meetings go here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/seattle-purlygirls/?yguid=165654850

Sounds fun. Thank you for that. I’ll look into it. It is difficult for me to get out, but I could probably manage occasionally.
