Knitting

Stuff I've always wanted to do but never thought that I could:

Drive a standard

Shuffle cards and do that cool bridge thing with them

Run over a mile

Knit

Happily for me, now I can do all those thing! This week I learned how to knit.  Several how-to videos and many hours later, the beginnings of a scarf were created. My yarn is a not very attractive teal color that we already had. Combined with uneven and missed stitches, this scarf may never see the outdoors. Trying a new hobby is fun though, and I'd like to improve enough to knit a hat or mittens. Once a month our library has a knit night where patrons take their projects and  knit together. If I can work up enough confidence, I may go next month.



I saw these Provincial Garden Mittens on Ravelry and think they are so pretty! Last week at my favorite thrift store I found some lovely, handmade, tan children's sized mittens for 50¢. After seeing these, I'm considering embroidering them.


Here's some other stuff on my list that hasn't been done yet:

Cook a delicious souffle (I tried this once - with expensive, disastrous results)

Ski down black diamond slopes, and like it
