Between the knitting and weightlifting, I feel that all I do is count. Sort of retired-ish. Native Floridian but a Panhandle transplant. A work in progress.

So my first attempt at the Sophie hood is- as per my usual method- wonky as heck but I think the addition of the eyelash yarn and daisies ( to cover a few little holes) more than make up for any deficiencies. #knitsky

My husband says the same thing about Jackson Pollock 
It took me four years to paint like Rafael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. Pablo Picasso.

First time using double points. Ribbing is wonky but I think it adds to the “background character from Les Mis” vibe that all fingerless gloves exude. #knitsky

#knitsky so my first attempt at mosaic knitting is pretty darn good. Was supposed to be a dishcloth but I decided it should be a clutch. Forgive the sewing- I really don’t know what I’m doing with sewing 😬

My cowl is a little twisted but it’s okay. I’ve been called worse.

Woohoo! I finished my second knit. It’s a swiffer cover. I learned to purl, yarn over, bind off and how to make buttonholes! #knitsky

Well, it’s definitely done. My first complete knitting project. It’s kinda square. #knitsky Better than before and that’s all I ask.

My first ever knitting project. It is terrible. I’m so proud #knitsky
A terrible knitting project. Not an example of excellence.

Fig. 1 it’s not my fault! He’s the one that suggested we lay on top of this pediment. Fig. 2 Hey I wasn’t lying. This is totally comfy. What’s your problem?!

The people who destroy books/access to books are never the good guys. Never.

I think it was the open wine bottle rather than my sparkling personality that attracted them
