Cast On, Cast Off

Do you knit? I'm jealous.

I've tried knitting and although I haven't given up for good I think it's safe to say I've taken a break from it. There are loads of things that I would like to make, to call my own. I want to be able to read patterns and so I'll give it a try again in the near future.

I'm not quite sure what it is I can't seem to get. Cast on, purl, knit, cast off…..I know a little (and I know it's not as simple as that), but it's not rhythmic yet nor are my projects pretty. My goal, is to be like my mum and to knit while sitting in front of the tv sipping a cup of my favourite tea. Oh how enjoyable that must be. It seems like the perfect way to spend a cool winter evening, ohhhhh, let's add a fireplace to that mix, ahhhh, divine!

Since knitting is not my forte, I often scour our beloved Etsy for items (I am giving my mum a little bit of a break from making me fashionable wears).

Here are a few of my favs!

Monterey Chunky Scarf ~ JerseyGirlKnits

Cowl/Shoulder Warmer ~ phydeaux

Alexandria Legwarmers ~ explosivekiwi

Cable Sleeveless Wrap/Cardian ~ ananwang

Fingerless Gloves (with flap) ~ DragonKnits

navy and pink stripe long mittens ~ mrswoowoo

iPod nano case ~ onaroll

Speaking of cool winter evenings, I can't wait to get my hands on a delicious gingerbread latte! I know, it's not even halloween yet and the pumpkin spiced latte just came out, I know.

tell me, do you knit? If so, what is your favourite knitting project?

Cheers,
