I have been knitting for many years now. I taught myself to knit more than 20 years ago when I was in college. I saw someone doing it and thought it looked like fun, so I bought myself a book and learned. I have been doing it off and on since then. In the early years I would start something then get bored with it and start something else, never actually finishing any one project. I never actually finished a sweater until just a couple of years ago. I had actually finished a couple of afghans, however. Because I live in the south (deep south), I never went through the scarf and hat phase that most new knitters seem to go through (they just weren't practical for me.) Recently though, I have made several beanie hats and those skinny little scarfs that are so popular now. My two teenagers are reaping the benefits of that. :)
Right now I am working my way through a book of stitch patterns using different yarns leftover and new. My optimistic plan is to possibly put the swatches together into a kind of quilt, although I'm not sure how that is going to work out since they are all of different sizes. We'll see. I'm also knitting a true scarf (or is it a muffler?) for my son who is in the army and is stationed at Ft. Drum, NY. I understand from him that it gets pretty doggone cold up there.
