Knitting

When I finally get some free time after this class is over (less than 7 weeks to go!), I am really looking forward to getting back into knitting. It is so relaxing and I love that when you are finished you have neat (and mostly useful) items that are great for gifts or yourself. If anyone else happens to be much of a knitter, I would really recommend checking out Operation Helmetliner, which has directions for knitting helmet liners and neck warmers for troops stationed overseas. Here is the website (which also has some neat and easy projects that don't require knitting and some simply projects for kids): http://www.citizensam.org. And, just because I love my dogs, I'm adding a picture of Daphne with a little doggie sweater I knit for her last year. My dogs chill at night pretty easily, so they wear sweaters or shirts almost year-round to stay warm, and this was a really fun and challenging project.
