Well, she has been trying to get me to cross stitch and crochet my entire life. To little to no avail. I picked up the cross stitch bug a few years ago. But I just don't really like to crochet. It's just......ugh. I don't like having to figure out where the stitches are, where to put the hook, ugh. Too much thinking involved.
But when I was pregnant with Squeaker, I asked for something I could do that was mindless, well more meditative than mindless. So she suggested knitting. I had always thought knitting would be twice as difficult as crochet, one more needle after all. But it turns out all the issues I had with crochet, were taken care of with knitting. I don't have to figure out where to put the stitch, they are all on the needles.
I'm really excited to be working on this project. It's a really cute cowl and I'm doing it in a really pretty cranberry color.
AND, Mom and I are going to be doing a Mystery Knit Along in October through the Craftsy site. Should be a lot of fun. I'm really excited.
Also, if any of you are into yarn crafts, Craftsy is having a huge "2 Million Member" sale. Some of their yarn is 75% off. Most are closer to 65% but COME ON!!! HUGE!!!!
But the best thing ever is when I texted this picture to my mom, she said, "Very pretty! It looks like you've been knitting for years."
Awwwwww, thanks Mom!

I tried knitting and I'm not good at it. I think I'm not good at any of that stuff, it's just too hard. BUT, I do cross stitch. I like to cross stitch funny things with swear words mostly. :)
I think something finally switched in my head. And now I get it. Plus, I just have to make this..http://images4.ravelrycache.com/uploads/TheVelvetAcorn/124895272/DSC_0200_small2.JPG for both of my kids.
I'm thinking black for Angel and Brown for Squeaker.
