I’ve mentioned in the past about how I want to conquer knitting. Today since my mother is in town to visit we decided to teach ourselves how to knit. We bought a beginners knitting kit with dvd to instruct us on our knitting adventure. It took us 4 hours just to learn the techniques for casting on, english knitting, and english purling. We haven’t started on the pattern just yet because we are trying to master the techniques first.
I didn’t realize how hard knitting can be. We were concentrating so hard that I swear I could have gone into labor….LOL. But it was so much fun to see each other struggle. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. My goal is to be one of those ladies that you see in the doctor offices knitting away waiting on their name to be called. I don’t know why I want to be one of those ladies, I just do. Weird, I know. I’m just really enjoying this whole crafty/housewife/american stay at home mom role. I want to be as well rounded in the “domestics” as possible. I’m a nerd, I know, I can’t help it.
Tomorrow, we will learn some more knitting and then move on to making curtains for the babies room.

john chow had a goodie on his site about making an invisible iframe to embed affiliate code links as a loaded site to save a cookie onto them incase they purchase something from the place within a 30-90 day period. *coughs * i may have told you this for extra loving or YOU CAN PRETEND I NEVER SAID ANYTHING *whispers*

I want to learn how to knit so bad but I know that it is so hard! My aunt bought a bunch of yarn and stuff. I know she won’t use it, she buys things all the time and never uses them. SO I shall steal them the next time I go home!
