My new obsession

Ok...so about 2 months or so ago I took up knitting...with tongue in cheek mind you. I didn't think I would be able to learn something that looked so complicate. Well here I am months later and I have finished a scarf AND a hat and I have begun another scarf and hat. My next attempt will be a simple sweater. I am totally addicted. Knitting rocks and I don't care who knows it! I will post some pics of my knittin adventures soon...
KNITTING IS GREAT!
And I have also started doing what is called a visual journal...it is like a scrapbook...on crack...each page is another little piece of art and I love it...here are some pics of my Journal...

I can't believe how much of a creative release this book it. Just as great as blogging only different. I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Here is a website to check out if you are interested:Journal Fodder Junkies

I never considered myself an artist till I came across the Visual Journal. It has opened my mind and heart to the concept that YES...I AM an ARTIST. It was a long time coming to be able to say that phrase with confidence...but now I can.

I'm so jealous! I really want to learn how to knit. Props on all your wonderful creativeness. Happy New Year too!

well I hate to the "malicious attack" - what a beast! But I love the visual journal! I think I'm gonna have to try that myself... I think my mom would like that too. Anyway glad you're back in full swing! By the way did I mention what a beast!

Alright, I wanna learn to knit too! I have for the past year but I don't know where to start. Did you learn from a book? Was it good? I want to make lovely baby blankets!!

Cool Journals also!

I bought a little book from Walmart called I taught Myself to knit. You can also find a lot of How To videos on You tube. I watched a few of those as well. I haven't graduated to the blankets yet...but I have made a scarf and a hat. :)
