It's Monday Madness time! This week I'm highlighting one of my all time favorite craft passions! Knitting and yarn...I think there's another connection with my "home ec" background and the entire felt and sewing thing too! I've been knitting since I was about 7 years old. Thanks again to my Mom and my "Nan" (my grandmother) and growing up in a time when learning those home arts was the cool thing to do! I'm sooooo thankful for it too! Needless to say I have a stash of yarn amongst my hoard of goodness and it was time to pull it out and start using it. I taught a beginning knitting class at Grove's this weekend so the timing was perfect to play with the yarn. I love working with wool yarn... hmmm...wool felt, wool sweaters ...why not wool yarn...LOVE IT. I purchased some Manos wool yarn at KnitWitts Yarn Shop in Brookfield, MA this summer and knit a few fair isle sweaters. I had a few skeins left and decided to do some Skinny scarves and flowers. Still working on the flowers but here are a few of the scarves...
and one I'm still working on...love these colors...they remind me of Inspired (register now...hint...hint)... Can't wait to finish this scarf and those flowers! You'll see them coming up on a few projects! Stay tuned and Happy Knitting up all your stash!!!!
