Aren't those yarns yummy ooohh my and those colors. I know I am acting like a kid in a candy store but that is why this blog is so named. Because every new experience every new yarn or needle I try is like a whole new world opening up to me I just love it my new moto "To boldly go where ever my knitting takes me ".

Update!!!!!
I am not sure if I mentioned I am in the KH Suprise theme swap, well I am and I am having a ball finding things for my swappee I just hopes he/she likes my selections. I may have to hire Fed X or UPS to deliver this package.LOL.

Addi needles are the best!!!!!!!!!

I awoke this morning excited I was supposed to be receiving my shipment of Addi needles today my very first set of circular needles.

I ran down the stairs hoping beyond hope to see my package on the floor under the mail shoot, and there it was..... my package, I don't think I had been this excited about spending that much money in my life,,, is was a rush. I took my package up and tore into it like a madman. I couldn't wait to get started.

I have been hearing about them for so long and everyone was singing they praises, and I to have to say they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am looking forward to begin knitting a garment with them so far it's only been swatches trying to get the feel for them. I am so very excited can wait.

Also as promise my finished

scarf and I have to say

it's very very warm.

And a gift I received from a friend and I intend to try to make the best of it all I'll even make him a gift from this stash. The funny thing is every time he comes over he always ask have you made anything from it yet? and I always reply i am saving them for something special. but that is not true it's just that I thought had left the world of synthetic fibers behind me and was moving on to better quality yarn but then I told my self,,,,,, self! when you had nothing else but A CRY LLICS that is what I knitted so why are you becoming so posh? Yes I gave myself a real wake up call. so this is my 1st WIP with my gift.

The inside out chemo hat from headhuggers.

But now it off to bed didn't realise how long I have been at the PC. Goodnight !!!!!!!!

You should have seen my face it lit up like a Christmas tree. I couldn't believe there was so many yarns out there and to actually get to feel and touch them it was a blast.

My first monster pieces...

I believe that even Leonardo Da Vinci , Picasso,or Vincent Van Gogh had to have started they careers with a few paintings that only them could call master piece, so it's with that in mind I show you what I call my first master pieces:-here goes

One of my first objects was this bag it didn't start out as a bag it just started as me practising my garter stitch but I got bored and BO and decided to sew it up and add handles, at this point I didn't know anything about blocking or finishing.

Then came these objects my first hat and first attempt at ribbing.

Then followed by my first st st object I rather like this bag and believe it or not I couldn't even handle yarn efficiently as yet and I went and did this in raffia I would say I was quite brave.

I bought this denim jacket and decided I wanted to jazz it up so I bought some lion brand fun fur and decided to add this collar and cuffs. This was a bit difficult at first as I had never tried this fuzzy stuff before but in the end I think I ended up with a little doozy of a jacket.

This bag was my experiment with larger needles I think US size 15 I think .

Trying to step outside my comfort level with this seed stitch border and booties, these I gave as a gift to a friend and although they were not quite perfect she loved them.

This beanie style hat I did for my partner I was rather proud of this one I didn't even frog once yeah !!!!

This next project is a doozy my first time knitting in the round on dpns and to think I had been seaming all my other stuff someone should have told me about knitting in the round every since I loooove it. This hat was done in the colors of my National Flag.I may never wear it but I feel really good about myself for my first attempt. Bravo to me....

Those are all I have taken photos of so far but I will post the others soon.

Currently I have OTN a few scarves and The Inside Out Knit Chemo Cap I am really trying to finish before summer has ended because I really would like to start on my my very first cardigan or pullover and gloves.

Wish me luck.

A Blogging First.....

Hi everyone this is my 1st attempt at blogging so please bare with me.What I am hoping to achieve through this experience is plenty of feedback from the kind hearted knitsters out there. And a a place where I can post my pics vent the frustrations of teaching myself to knit and gain vital knowledge for your comments thank you in advance.

And telling you all about the wonderful yarns I will hope to find on my many trips to yarns stores all around the UK and hopefully Europe as well.

So with that said here goes:- when I come back I will show you guys some pics of things I have tried in my quest to call myself a KNITTER.

Bye see you later.
