My Magic Bag of Tricks
Here is the long-abandoned dishcloth. I was right proud of myself because it actually had a PATTERN to it. Woo-hoo! I don't know if you can see it, but there's a raised pattern in the middle of it. I have finished it, by the way.
And here are the contents of my knitting bag, once I cleaned it out. I found four skeins of baby soft yarn. I sent them to my niece Amy Jo who is also learning to knit.
Look at all these needles! I love needles in all sizes and colors. I LOVE the super big green ones I used for my uber-long purple scarf. One of my student workers saw them and borrowed them to make her own. Hooray for knitting evangelism!
Being a librarian, I -- of course -- have lots of books about knitting. I've even purchased another one since cleaning out the bag. Oh, and I think I'd already sent one or two to my niece when I took this picture.
So now I have no excuses. I have needles, I have how-to books with every project imaginable, and I have yarn. I didn't include a picture of it because it's kind of embarrassing. No excuses now, right? Hmm, Susan? Do you think I could knit, be in class, watch LOST, and Google talk all at the same time? It's definitely worth a try.

One completed, one begun
It amazing how much your time gets away from you once work and school pick back up. It's hard to believe we're about to start our fourth week of classes. I've been plugging away on some knitting projects but not making as much progress as I'd like.
I finished the orange scarf and have made progress on the red and black. I also found a long-abandoned dishcloth when I took inventory of my knitting bag so I finished that too.
I thought I had pictures but they're not on my computer! ARGH! They must still be on my camera, so I'll add them later. I feel like I'm finally making some progress and actually becoming a knitter and not just someone who is struggling through the learning process.
Oh -- I took pictures of all the stuff I had down in my bag. I'll have to show you how much stuff I had crammed in there. I sent some of it to my niece and I hope she can join in and post us pictures of what she's working on.
Keep your eyes open! Pictures will be here soon.
