Jo Knits!

I did it!

This morning I DID it!!!

I knitted in public! LOL! For me it's a big thing ok? ;) I brought my knitting project with me and thought maybe I could advance it while talking with the moms at my coffee and mommy chat this morning. Then I got a bit shy and didn't bring it out at first, after an hour my hands were itching to knit. So I quietly got my needles out and started to knit, someone noticed and said "oooooh! what are you making?" I beamed with pride and answered that I'm knitting my 1st sweater for Zoe. No one really cared that I knit or not in the class so I just did. By the end of the morning I had knitted four inches on the sweater! Well, that's 4" more than if I had left it home. It was nice to knit while I was talking and listening along! Next week I won't be shy to bring my knitting along, I should bring socks. That should raise a few eyebrows, maybe that fairisle self-patterning yarn? But then they might want me to knit them some! LOL! Oh, now there's a problem! LOL! ;)

Here's a pic of the sweater so far:

Also I joined a whole gang of knitters in a felt-along taking place on Feb.4! On that day we will all be felting our Fuzzy Feet slippers and then Kate will post pics of all the slippers! She made a special page so you can join in the fun too. Felt-along! I better finish sanding my DPN's to get a head start on knitting up my slippers. I'm just lazy. ACK! Also the sweater I started is just so much fun to do! LOL! Mindless knitting as the whole body is done in the round. I just LOVE circular needles. :)

Hey! If you are a Canadian knitter and read my blog, please let me know, ok? I'd love to build up a lil'list of us Canucks out there who like to knit! :)

hugs! :)
