The [Knits In] Podcast Episode 2

Hey guys!

So I totally forgot to post my second episode here! But oh well, after all, what better time to post it than the hour before upload the 3rd episode!

The [Knits In] Podcast Episode 1

    Hello!

            I am excited to invite you to watch my very first podcast. It's a little rough and I'm still         getting used to being in front of the camera but I hope you'll love it anyway. 

The First Boy In Ages

        This weekend my Mom, sister and I were invited to a baby shower. If you've been following me for the past year then you know that knitting for babies is my all time favorite, As a matter of fact a majority of my completed projects on Ravelry are baby items. This particular baby had me very knit happy because he will be the first boy to be born into my immediate friends or family in quite some time. Don't get me wrong,  I am fully aware that there are just as many options if not more when it comes to knitting for baby girls but what I'm the most excited about is working with a whole new color pallete. Blues, greens, greys, deep browns; colors that most of the babies in my family do not wear.

We received the invitation a bit short notice so I wasn't able to give as much as I'd liked to but I'm planning on making more and either sending the rest in the mail or dropping it off the next time we visit.

Baby Pattern Review + New Years Resolutions

      It's 2017! Isn't it crazy to think that we've made it this far? 2017 sounds like a year in some futuristic robo-tron movie, but it is no longer the future. It is the present. It is now time to implement all of the resolutions and plans that we promised ourselves we would stick with when the New Year came just a few days ago. One of my New Years resolutions is to finish what I start. At this point in my knitting career of only 6 years I have a "to pick up and continue later" bin that is embarrassing for me acknowledge. So I don't, It sits in the corner of my room collecting dust. I can't stand to look at it. That bin is my garage stacked to the ceiling with the junk I've collected over the years. That bin is the closet full of clothing I never wear yet can't bear to get rid of. That bin is the embodiment of my fear of putting time and effort into something only to find that it wasn't what I wanted or needed. This year is the year that I empty out that bin and decide what will be frogged and what will be completed.
