Knit Lit

Firsts & Favorites

I thought it appropriate to start my very first post on my very first blog with a couple of firsts…and some favorites, because I couldn’t come up with very many firsts that would be blog appropriate.

My first pair of socks:

Yarn: Wisdom Yarns New York – Colorway: 224

These are for my dad’s last birthday. Since his birthday is around Thanksgiving, it has been a tradition that I give him Christmas socks for his birthday. That way he can wear them the whole season. It is very hard to find men’s Christmas socks. This year I thought I would try knitting him socks…a tradition with a twist. He loved them! Yeah for handknits!

My first completed project of 2008:

Fetching Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Superchunky – Color: 6012

I can not believe I waited so long to make these! It was such a quick knit!

Now, my favorites …

  1. … season – Fall. I love looking at the changing leaves. I often cause near wrecks driving to work because I’m trying to take pictures out the window.
  2. … author – Nora Roberts / JD Robb
  3. … movies – Shawshank Redemption, Chocolat, Harry Potter movies, anything with Julia Roberts
  4. … book – the In Death series by JD Robb, all the Harry Potter books
  5. … not a favorite, but I am a cat person. I don’t have a pet, but if I did, it would be a cat.

Well, that’s it, my first post on my first blog. Yeah!
