knitting and other stuff

I attended my final knitting 101 class last night. I definitely learned a lot and feel more comfortable with the basics. In our last class we learned binding off, weaving our excess yarn into our projects, and how to fix mistakes. I attempted to put my 'how to fix mistakes' knowledge to use last night when I got home and continued my newest project. I say 'I attempted' because I quickly became confused and just frogged the whole thing. I was only 3 rows in, so not too terrible. Definitely need more practice on how to 'fix' things or un-knit to get to the problem areas. Since it was our last class, I had our instructor snap a few pics and then I snapped a few more to give you a peak into our class and the lovely shop, knit1 oxford!


From left to right we have, Beryl, me, Pam, and Carly! I should have taken a photo when we were finishing our first samplers rather than casting on for our newest project, since it doesn't look like we are doing much in the photos. Regardless, I have proof of our hard work and lessons learned which I shall post later!


And now one with our fabulous instructor, Meredith!

I wanted to take a few shots of the shop and projects to encourage anyone in Oxford to drop by! Lovely, lovely yarns and many beautiful 'finished objects' to inspire even a beginner like me!




This past weekend we had a visit from Daniel's brother, Zach. He hasn't seen Sullivan since Thanksgiving of last year, and needless to say, Sullivan has changed just a bit since then!



This last photo I took on the one day we had cool weather this week since I bought this outfit for Sullivan when I was pregnant and I assumed, mistakenly, that 1. he would only be 9 months old in September, and 2. that at 9 months old you can actually fit into 9 month old clothes. Regardless, I forced him to squeeze into this outfit, took his picture and dropped him off at daycare where the AC ended up going out and they changed his clothes anyway. At least I have photographic evidence that he wore it. More than I can say for quite a few things in his closet!
"why do you do these things to me Mama?"

HAPPY FRIDAY TO YOU ALL!
