My New Hobby...

Of course, after I promised to be more diligent, a mess of unforeseen circumstances occurred and have left me exhausted.

In order to make good on at least one promise in my post, my newest hobby is knitting. I took it up about 2 months ago and I'm already pretty good. Being that it is an overtly feminine pastime I'm rather surprised that I am even doing it, let alone decent at it. Behold:

The Braided Scarf I knitted for myself.
CABLING! I am so awesome, I know.

The Basketweave Scarf I knitted for a friend.
The details of this scarf did not photograph well, plus it was gigantic at over 80'' long and over 10'' wide.1 But that was how he wanted it.

Impressive, I know. I'm sure my male reader(s) are bursting with fruit flavor. I've finished other stuff too, but I don't have pictures.

Those are really pretty. I've tried knitting, but I always forget how to begin...

There are tons of videos online to help. That was how I learned when I was moving "ahead" of my class.

I'm working on it. I swear. I had a bad week last week and now I'm sick.

You've inspired me to do some serious cable work on my next project. Love the scarves!
