Sage's Socks

A little pair of socks I made for Sage at 6 months  (just found the picture)

Maya's Hoodie and Dress

Here it is, my first foray into crochet!  I made this sweater, which was pretty adventurous for a first project, but that has been the way I learn - go in way over my head and try to fix my mistakes as I go along.  I discovered just how fast crochet is, and am wondering whether I may become a convert.  Knitters and crocheters seem to stay firmly on opposite sides of the fence, but I am intrigued by these new skills.  I get excited when there is so much more to learn, so expect more crochet to pop up for a while...  

Here Maya is, wearing wearing her hoodie in combination with the dress I knitted for her a while ago.  The dress is following the same pattern as the one I made for Sage last year, but I decided to try using a different colour for the trim.  I unintentionally made a set, because the trim on both is in the same purple yarn!

Devil Pants Action Shots!

Here is my little niece Maya, up to no good in the devil pants I made her!

Kniting Videos Online

Hey, I thought I'd let any new knitters who check my page know about the resource that was most helpful to me when I started out.  Knitting Help has videos that show how to do many versions of the different stitches you need.  This was really helpful for me because I learned most of my techniques on my own.  Reading the descriptions of a stitch in a book is really nothing like watching someone do it in front of you.  This website bridged that gap for me and I hope it helps many others!!!
