Good morning! My name is Pam. I'm a 32 y/o mommy of a 4 y/o. And a nurse from Pennsylvania. I taught myself to knit from a book and I'm moving along fairly well. I can do the basic stuff but I haven't been able to knit cables or anything more advanced than ribbing. Oh no...wait! I did knit a button hole! Just for practice and it was glorious. Anyway I've been wanting a mossy green scarf so I bought a skein of super bulky forest green chenille and, with my size 17 needles, knitted it in one evening. I like the lacey look that the bigger needles produce. One skein was just enough for a nice sized scarf with fringes. I'll wear it out and about the town today and feel very pleased with myself. Although I don't think I'll use the chenille yarn too often. I prefer the look of Lion Brand Homespun when I'm doing the "lacey" thing. I used the Homespun to knit a giant coral scarf which I love. Although it is truely huge. People have scoffed. Oh well. So I'm trying to keep my first post/introduction brief so I don't bore you all right off the bat. I'll be back in the morning to tell you of my first disastrous knitting project. And on that cliffhanger, I bit you farewell. Because I can't spell Add-due.
