My poor neglected blog....
I've been a busy gal lately, but I have found some time to pick up a new hobby. I've drooled over the lovely hand-spun yarns on etsy (ahem... WoolyHands, TheTwistedPurl) long enough without being able to do something with them. I picked up the book Stitch 'n Bitch a few weeks ago and got to work. Mostly, the instructions are pretty clear, but I still ended up having to go online and watch videos of hands in action. I must say I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out, but of course it has a few "first timer" bobbles. I don't think I quite grasped her method for bringing in a new ball of yarn... I don't have a beautifully seamless transition.
I have yet to try anything more complicated than a scarf, but I can tell that I'm going to enjoy this. Of course, I take it up and finish my first project when it's 70 degrees outside. Ah well.

It looks fabulous!!!! I wouldn't have guessed that was your first project. Yay :)
Wow, that looks pretty good!
Very cool! ^-^ I've picked it up too and while my first scarf with both knit and purl hasn't been finished yet. (I'm doing it in the dark at work while the kiddos nap, lol!)
Yours looks warm and cozy!
