Knitting!
Well....
I've now learned how to knit. I'm knitting scarves, and hats, and NOW.... I'm learning new ways to knit...
Like the Fair Isle way of knitting. When you knit Fair Isle, you have two different colors of yarn, and you basically just switch back and forth between the two. When I saw it... at first I thought it would be terribly hard. But in reality, it's quite simple once you get the hang of it. You would knit it in the round, leaving a section to of steek. Once you have it the desired length, you cut at the steek, right down the middle, which will open up...... then voila! You have a Fair Isle blanket, rug, whatever! I know I've left out some parts to this, but I know you can find out more about it online! Just search for Fair Isle knitting!
It's beautiful!!!!
I'm going to try tackling arm and leg warmers next.... and then socks, and sweaters, and mittens....... the possibilities are endless!!!
