Welcome to my Knitting Blog!

Even though I have been knitting for over a decade, lately I have had the itch to be creative with my craft. I have recently experienced several knitting techniques I have never used before. I get a lot of enjoyment out of my knitting and often spend my lunch hour, immersed in a project.

This is mainly a forum for me to vent and discuss my ongoing "Knitting Adventures".

My favorite gift of 2009!

My HDBW!

I finally got a chance to take a good photo of my favorite Christmas present! My Heavy Duty Ball Winder and Power Base Light Plus from Nancy's Knit Knacks. Seen here holding 10 oz of baby weight yarn. To give you an idea of the size of this monster, the base is just a little smaller than your average shoe box. :) I was so glad my Parents and hubby conspired together to get me both pieces! They were rewarded by being able to watch me wind any scrap of yarn I could get my hands on! (Sometimes twice.) :D

Is this a necessary gadget for every knitter?
No.
Is it a bit excessive?
Yes.
Am I ecstatic every time I buy new yarn and get to play with it?
Absofrickinlutely!
