Back In Action

After my first blanket, I realized that I would be spending all my money if I kept up making blankets at warp speed. Luckily, by becoming a member of JoAnns club (crafting store), I received a discount on a lot of yarn so I am back in action!

I have talked to my house mom at my sorority since she got so excited seeing me knit the first time, I figured she was into knitting, turns out....she is! Her face lights up whenever we talk about it and she has started to help me look at new, more challenging patterns. As I went from beginner (the first blanket I knit) patterns to easy patterns, I got completely lost in the terminology of the craft. Understanding the language of knitting is important, but there are few websites that spell it out for you what the terms mean, which is what I will turn to Jan, my house mom for. She is willing and eager to help me with my next blanket and asks me every time I see her, so once the yarn arrives in the mail from JoAnns, I'M GOING TO GET THE (YARN) BALL ROLLING....again.

In the meantime, enjoy this ball on a yarn game:
