Me knitting?! What great fun!

So here it is in the middle of the night and I am hoping this computer will not crash. I have been unable to blog b/c my computer is frustrating me by freezing up on me. I have gotten to the point where I want to throw it across the room. I however am hopeful I have corrected the problem. And to think Lanie wants to stand in line for a $50 ibook on Tuesday. RIR is going to be a mad house and I am taking Lanie down there. Am I crazy or what?!
So I have so much to tell you my loyal readers. (all 5 of you) Let see I am going to start with easiest one.

I started knitting over the summer. I needed a hobby and Laine is always doing stuff with it. I also have some other friends at school who knit.
I thought, "Well, I could teach myself over the summer while the kids are gone."
And I am! I have practiced on this crapy yarn and when I got the knit stitch down and somewhat the purl (Lanie help me wrap the right way!) I went with Lanie and got some yarn. I now had a project. A scarf. I have finished it! and It feels great to have it out of the way!
I also got yarn to do a booga bag. I have started that one. Again I had to have Lanie show me how to pick up stitches. I do not know what I was doing but I ended up with a bunch more than I needed. So far that is going good.

I am not sure what I can do after this. I need an easy project to do. I need to learn to increase and decrease, i have a pattern for a pretty sweater I want to try after I have a another project or two under my belt. Any one have any suggestions?
This is what you can look forward to in my next blog. I went to work with Mrs. A and a vet clinic for the day last Tuesday. I will post my experiences tomorrow. I had a great time!
