My Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles

Remember my love for knitting? I think it's getting to be a passion already. Aside from lotsa yarns that I have, I ordered that Denise Interchangeable Knitting Needles at Ebay. Why Ebay? It turned out more cheaper if I buy from Ebay US than here. Here it sells almost P6000 while I only got it at Ebay for like P3,100 shipping included. Big difference right? Oh I just love my new needles. I actually like it better than my existing straight needles. The interchangeable ones are less stressful to the wrist probably because it's so much lighter. I love the cable part too coz I can just put it in my bag without the needles sticking out of my bag. Now if you excuse me, I have a scarf to finish (to match the beanie).

Beanie for My Niece

I'm doing a beanie for my niece. Well just trying my hand at it. Can I say that I've already graduated making scarves? I don't think so, I've done 3 so far, and I want to do more. Scarves are easy to make but then I want to explore knitting more. Hopefully the beanie would turn out nice so I'll be inspired to knit more.

Knit/Crochet Projects

I really need to finish all of my projects. Well I'm not in a hurry with the crocheted bag though, but with the knitted scarves I should be able to finish it before July. I'm making progress, so I think I will be able to save on postage, since I can ask my friend to bring it with her to the US. She will be visiting my sisters. I hope they like the colors I chose. And if I can still manage to knit 2 more I would. Honestly I find crocheting easier than knitting. I can crochet with my eyes closed, but with knitting I don't think I would be able to do that, although I think I've already improved. I knit much faster now.

Knit All I Want

This is my 3rd knitting project, yep all of them unfinished. Blame it on the beautiful colors of yarn which I keep buying whenever I see one. Blame it on the needles too, because I have 3 pairs. But I am the one to be blamed truly, because I get bored easily looking at the same color whenever I knit, plus the same knitting stitches. This blue one has the same stitches too, but its purl and knit combined in one row, and it looks different. All these I learned online. I didn't get somebody to teach me to knit personally. It came from the intructional videos I watch every now and then. At first it was quite difficult because I was totally new to it. Now I can knit and watch a little television at the same time. I can even talk while knitting. Daughter Ish asked me, "Mom how can you talk with someone and knit at the same time?"
