Living with a lapband after seeing goal is just as much work as getting there. This blog chronicles my journey to qualify for band surgery, my work to goal weight and now living with the band long term. Weight will always be an issue but there is a whole lot of living to be done.

Knitting
The first craft project for 2010 is knitting. If you recall from one of my summer posts I often sit poolside with girls from the neighborhood with knitting projects. At a social gathering a few weeks ago one of the women discussed wishing we could sit poolside in the Winter like we used to. I decided we needed a knitting night right then and there. I have scheduled it this Thursday night at my house. I started a small felted purse project from my leftover scraps yesterday. The picture below is from kaboodle.com. Mine is a gray and black tweed on the bottom and black with gray squares for the top. Who knows if it will turn out as I am not a very good instruction follower. So far it does not look exactly the same but it looks good.

I've always wanted to learn to knit - it sounds so relaxing. I like the bag too.
Wow, that purse looks great! I always wished I could Knit. But instead, I learned to Crochet! But I do love when I take the time to sit down & make something. Besides, it keeps my hands busy!
Learning to knit was very difficult for me. I tried many times while in high school and then just before each of my children were born. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a child and I had given up all hope of learning. A year and half ago I met a woman at the school where my daughter was attending who knitted while she waited for the kids to get out of class. I had a grandson on the way and she let me borrow a baby sweater pattern that she said was doable. She taught me right handed knitting while I watched from the back. I finally figure out left handed knitting! I have since then made the sweater, started a Christmas stocking, made a bad felted bag and started this one.
I do like it and it is getting relaxing :)
I'm a hopeless knitter. Hope you do better than me and post the pic once you're done.. we want to marvel at your cleverness :)
wish i knew how to knit, my mom tried to teach me crochet when i was younger, but i just couldn't grasp it :(
