My grandmother taught me how to knit quite a few years ago now, and I've never really gotten past scarves. Actually, I think I may have completed what I called a "cat scarf," really just a very small scarf. Then there was the WAY too big rainbow scarf....also never finished. Not that this bodes well for the baby blanket, but yeah...
The other project I started, and actually completed today, is a place to keep my knitting needles. Right now they live in a "To teach is to touch a life forever" bag embroidered with my name...and a "Miss" in front of it. :(When my grandparents moved into a retirement home, my grandmother gave me a trove of knitting, crotcheting, and sewing things, which I love. So I bought fabric and sewed up the handy knitting needle holder. It's kind of like a knife or jewelry roll--there are pockets for the needles, and then it rolls up and ties with a ribbon. I quite like it.
My next project is going to be more domesticity on display--bread. I've never been sucessful at making any type of yeast bread from scratch, so I'm anxious to try again. I'm thinking cinnamon rolls....mmmm.

Very nice! I gotta make me one of those so my needles can stop floating around the bottom of my dresser drawer!
Oh, you domestic women. I'm an actual "house wife" and I don't do neat things like that. I've very crafty at wrappy shit filled dipers tightly so that nothing nasty leaks as you run to the trash. Talent, I know. Jealous, you are.
Megan, you're hilarious. I can't wait to see you in August (I'm hopefully coming to Heather's wedding).
I did not know you were so domestic!
Thanks for the compliments ladies, but don't be deceived. I suck at most domestic duties like cleaning and cooking. I'm good at the mostly useless things like knitting needle coozies.
Oh, and Megan, you crack me up. Jealous, I am. :)
