I Can Knit

I found myself a new hobby, knitting, and I am pretty good at it. Right now, I am obsessed with socks. I don't know what it is but I just love the small needles and the thin yarn. I have not tried a sweater yet, but I did make a bag and some hats for the family.

I have also found an excellent way to get yarn cheap, recycling the yarn from sweaters. It is addicting. I cannot believe how much yarn I can get from one sweater. It blows my mind considering that it would cost at least $30 for that amount if bought at a store.

Next, I am going to learn how to spin on a spindle. I just need to make it. I also need to ply the cotton yarn I rescued from a sweater, so I can make another grocery bag. Hubby doesn't understand, but I don't understand the zombie obsession either. No biggie.
