Snowflakes...

It has finally happened!  I am knitting something for me!!  I am so very excited!  Making a few changes (of course!)...  I can't seem to actually knit anything anymore without making changes...  The main color is a lilac purple with white snowflakes and dark gray accents.  The length is going to be a bit shorter and I am not knitting the bottom row of snowflakes.  Hopefully, I will have enough yarn!!

Great quote from "New Girl" last night...
"What's my one rule?" Jess said to Nick
"Don't touch your yarn."  

Love it!  It is now my new rule, too!!  :)

Tomorrow is class preview day at Joann's!  All of my classes are 50% off with free yarn and needles for Knitting 101 and Knitting 102!  What a deal!  Stop by for a chat and sign up for a class.

Also, the Mommy and Me class is coming up at My Toy Garden.  It will be so fun!  We'll be starting on a sparkly scarf (knitting is a slow art) and finish it on your own.  If you need help, you can contact me here at info@claireknits.com.  Or stop by on one of the Knitting Socials at Joann's.  To enroll for the Mommy and Me class, stop by and see Janet at My Toy Garden. 

Hope to see you soon!

Ran 10 miles while knitting myself a sweater...

I saw this commercial last night and just had to giggle!  I would start drinking 5 hour drinks if I could actually knit myself a sweater in 5 hours!! 
This one is a couple of years old, but I still love it!  Especially the part where the sock monkey is getting "Mom" tatooed on his arm in blanket stitch!  Too funny!  The lady who knitted the sock monkey costume is on Ravelry, too!

Happy New Year!

Think about this for a new year resolution... learn to knit or build on your knitting skills in the new year.  What a great resolution!  Enroll in one of my classes and I can help you work on one of your resolutions!  One of my resolutions for 2013 is to learn how to steek!  I have plans to knit myself a Norwegian style sweater with steeks.  I love the idea of knitting in the round instead of making a bunch of different pieces to be sewed together later, but I just don't know if I can actually cut my knitting....  So, it will be a challenging resolution!
