I started knitting a couple of years ago... and it has quickly become an addiction... Being so easily portable, I can take it anywhere(unlike sewing)... I take any opportunity that I can to snatch up materials... manly estate sales... I purchased a
box of knitting patterns recently for a $1 ... So my next knitting project came from that treasure trove...

I could not resist knitting these slipper for my kids for Christmas... they bring back memories of my Grandma, because she knitted me a pair of slippers every year...

And these are the boy's |
Since it is well known that I have a home for unwanted crafting items... My next knitting inspiration came from a gifted knitting book... I just had to knit them for my friend's daughter... I can't wait to see them on her!

These came from a 1955 Bernat Handicraft magazine... |
Well these are the knitted gifts I've done so far...(at least the ones I can show to prying eyes)... If you love knitting like me, I encourage you to look at your local estate sales/garage sales! You can pick up knitting items for pennies vs. dollars it cost you at the craft store... Happy Knitting!
