Welcome to my knitting blog!
I have been knitting like crazy lately and suddenly realized that I want to keep some sort of journal. This will be my place to share my projects, what worked and what didn't.
I live in Italy (I am in the US Navy) and have extremely limited access to yarn and supplies so I am ordering almost everything online. I was a little bit nervous at first but have really been lucky so far. I miss the touching part though. I recently moved to Sicily from Portland, Oregon. There are several great yarn shops there and I easily spent an hour at a time just putting my nose down into the yarn!
One of these days soon, I will learn to spin my own yarn like my hero Lynn. In the meantime, I am going to expand my knitting prowess. Right now, I am pretty much a beginner. I taught myself about two years ago and am still doing fairly simple stuff.
Right now, I have the most gorgeous yarn on my needles that is shaping up to be a top down sweater for my six year old.

HA! Just for that little plug, you just won yourself some handspun yarn in your next video package. :-)

how would you feel about some of the yarn like I used in the sweater I made for M recently? I just found an unspun ball of roving that I can do up for you. (It;s really soft!)

I almost asked you to put a tiny piece of that into the last box just so I could touch it LOL. I would love it, if you don't mind!

you'll have a whole skein to yourself. :-) It won't be a huge amount, probably 3-4 ounces, but enough to do something. I'll spin it as fine as I can, the perhaps you could make a moebuis scarf with it.
