Beginning

Hello! I made the choice (after looking at about a million other sites) that it might be a good idea to start a knitting blog. Hopefully I can use this as a place to post things that I'm working on, along with my completed projects. The idea is for me to improve...a lot! Most sane knitters probably don't start blogging until they want the world to see their work and talent. I am not one of those knitters (unfortunately). Instead, I think that this would be a good way for me to look at any progress I'm making and hopefully have some knitting accountability.

By the end of the year I would like to:

Make a piece of cable knit
Make a decent sweater
Make socks
Try to Swatch and Gauge for EVERY piece I knit
Start using GOOD yarn (goodbye Red Heart)
And possibly make something WITHOUT a pattern (scary)

That's a lot in a year, but I'm feeling strangely positive about it all.

Tonight I hope to finally be done with a lime/chocolate ski hat that I'm been working at for a week or so. Once finished I'll post some pictures, along with recently finished mittens.

p.s. Yes, the blog is named after my hamster, Nibbles. It is extremely difficult coming up with a clever title that hasn't been used before...so for now, it will be Nibble Knits.
