miss lynn learns to knit

finally!
i have been promising myself, oregon winter after oregon winter, that i would learn some yarn skill. My Mum and both my sisters learned to knit recently and the crafty trio have be crocheting for quite sometime (kid sis has actually been dubbed a crochet ninja in honor for the speed at which she can stitch). They hand-craft mini and full-size blankets, scarf after scarf, and Mum has practiced to perfection the art of crochet hats... I have, *sigh* sadly, had to be the guinea pig for most of the styles (oh darn!).
after unwrapping some kniffty supplies that Sister Santa put in my stocking and a quick view of the DVD hans bought for himself last winter (that's right mister!, your secret's out!), i decided it was time to put away the procrastination and get out the yarn!

I started small, very small... a scarf....
for my niece... my 8 month old niece.
after completing the yarn work, i added some variegated green embroidery floss for a little extra color and texture.
check.
it.
out!

















































i have since then completed another, this time for a big person (hahah! well sort of... myself) and
i am just o so pleased with my self... and am gonna keep knititng away!
