Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

Thursday night my friend Kimberly & I attended my first Sit & Knit (that I organized thankyouverymuch). We had dinner first, where I took this pic of my ice: Ice, ice baby then we met up with a few other ladies for chatting and knitting.Heather teaching Kimberly how to knit at the Sit & Knit It was a lot of fun. One lady, Heather, man is she amazing with the knitting! I can hardly even talk about it. She makes things you would totally think came from a store. I can knit rectangles. Oy. I’ll get there though. I’m currently knitting a blanket for the Linus Project. Once I’m finished with that I hope to move on to a different shaped thing!

    How fun! I wish I was closer to you – I have a feeling we could get into a lot of trouble together.

    I used to knit alot – maybe you’ll inspire me to pick it up again – definitely post shots of your blanket!

    It’s so cool you are doing knitting, AND it’s charity knitting! I’m making baby hats for the hospital right now!

    How fun! My friends and I do something similar to that every so often with crochet and sewing. It’s fun just to be around some other crafty people, it’s more motivating to actually finish a project.
