How the friendzy started!

This blog is an attempt at showing my craftiness.. and i must say, I don't have much! But.. I am totally obsessed with Knitting! My mother showed me how back in my teens, and I did a little bit in college, but never really did anything more than a couple of pillows and a basic afghan. Now I find that my sister is getting very talented in this craft, and I want to be able to share that with her and make things for my family and friends.

So far I have made hats and mittens.  My first mitten was HUGE!  It stays in the car to use when I'm gassing up so i dont get that darn gas smell on my good mittens. My next pair was still too big, but I put a second pair inside them and now they are perfect and extra warm and cozy.  The issues with size come from the fact that I havent really spent any time trying to figure out my gauge on each pattern.  I have signed up for a knitting class, that starts in two weeks, and that is a1 on my list to accomplish. The next after that is double pointed needles!

Here are the mittens I've done so far:

The "gas up the car mitten" size XXXL   

The pair I wear now, black and pink

I made a mistake on these blue ones, and one is bigger than the other! At this point I started doing both of them at the same time. I guess I forgot to mention that these are done on straight needles, as I hadnt learned to use circular or double pointed yet. 

Pink/Green

Purple/White

These next ones were a special request from Texas, done in the Copperas Cove school colors!
