The Beauty of a Hobby

In the mist of my busy schedule surprisingly I have found time to pick up a new hobby. Knitting! yep you read correctly knitting. I must admit the initial idea was only appealing to me because I was looking to cut back funds on Christmas presents. I figured I could make a few scarves, maybe some leg warmers and some fingerless gloves. What I didn't realize at the time is that my new cost effective hobby wasn't as easy as it appeared to be. The scarf that I was making for a male friend of mines was a disaster however, I kept at it.

I began working on a scarf for myself as a test drive and I can honestly say I am quite proud. It took me 1 week to make my new scarf and I love it! Its something very rewarding about setting a goal and achieving it. It may be something as small as a scarf but I will always look at it and be like "dag,I made that". Which means I'll be knitting my 1st child some booties.

Nonetheless, I think its pretty obvious what everyone will be getting for Christmas next year. By then I will have enough experience to make gloves, hats, scarfs and legwarmers. In the meantime, check out your girls work first hand, yeah.
