Hello

Hello. It's definitely been a while since my last blog post. I've had a very busy two years but with work, family, and knitting, it's better late than never.

One reason that I haven't been blogging is that I went back to school to work on my second masters in education. The large amount of reading, papers, and group assignments was insane but well worth it.

Another reason that I haven't blogged for a while is that I get a new position at my school that requires about three times the work as my previous assignment. I love teaching and I think that with my new position, I can help more children.

Over this time I have completed many knitted projects. The one that I want to share with you today was for my new grandson.

I knitted my new sweetie Elizabeth Zimmerman's baby Suprise Jacket in Cherrytree Hills supersock merino. I also knit my first pair of scoks for him and a little hat.

I also knit two blankets. The first a personalized blanket by Erika Knight in Jeannee Worstered by Plymouth Yarns.

The second blanket was the Jared Flood Tweed Baby Blanket in Butterfly Cotton. (Still his favorite.)

He’s a year old now.

 

These are just some of the projects that I have been working on. I plan on getting you up to date on what I been doing over that past two years.

Sorry it's been so long...

Gosh I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long. I’ve been sooo busy and haven’t had the time or energy to sit down and write a blog. I haven’t left or anything, just been extremely busy with work (teacher), and working on my second Masters. I have however continued to knit. I just bought myself a new camera (birthday presents to myself) so pictures will be coming soon. I the mean time here are some reasons why I knit.

Knitting Is Therapeutic

Knitting is a great way to exercise your fingers and get yourself distracted in a positive manner. Knitting does take skill to master, so you learn to be patient and focused when you start to learn it. Also, it is also a relaxing and therapeutic hobby that can take your mind off of the pressures of everyday mundane life.

Yes, knitting takes practice and patience. If you need a healthy distraction or need to do something that is a little different from your usual activities, knitting can be a great hobby to take up.
