I love to knit gifts for my friends and family. In fact, this Christmas I knit several simple but cute hats for gifts. The only thing that kind of sucks about knitting gifts is that people lose them. I knit my little sister this:

in white with the intention of putting a pretty pink ribbon through the holes. A few months later, I was helping her clean her room and found it at the bottom of the closet, completely covered with dust and grime. She is a messy kid and her room is in a constant state of chaos, but it still hurt my feelings a little bit.
I also knit my mom this:

in nice, expensive wool.
Yeah...she lost that, too...
The moral of the story? I am only going to knit for me, unless the recipient proves themselves worthy or it's something I would never wear myself. Haha.

Let's Start at the Very Beginning...
Well, it didn't occur to me to make a blog that to record my knitting projects and whatnot, and to be honest, my knitting is mediocore at best. However, I figured that I would publish a few, here and there in order to record my progress and whatnot. For this first blog, I will copy/paste a few of my knitting themed blogs from the past in order to organize them a little better.
This is what I get for drinking a gigantic coffee first thing in the morning. Whose feeling productive? THIS GUY!

ey everyone! It has been a REALLY long time since I've posted...well...anything...so I decided that I wanted to share my brand new FO! It's the Adults Only hat from Stitch n Bitch I actually started about two years ago, when I had just started knitting. I dug it out of my drawer the other day and FINALLY finished it...except I decided to make only one pointy. It looks adorable on my sister, and she's requested that I make her one with two devil horns instead of my "nipple". It's jut knit with cheap Red Heart yarn, if I remember correctly. Sorry the photo is goofy. I have a hard time taking myself super seriously while wearing this particular hat.
