You've probably heard me mention before about being in a knitting club at work. Well, this all started several months ago and I am definitely still in the learning stages. I've been working on small projects and the group I'm in is currently making 5" X 5" squares that will eventually all be combined to make a blanket. We will then donate the blanket to a cancer center or a dialysis clinic for patients to use while undergoing treatments.
Aside from making my squares for the blanket, I am proud to announce that I have competed one other project...I made a scarf. It didn't turn out quite as beautiful as I expected, and there are definitely things I would do differently if I did it again. However, I am so proud of myself for completing this project entirely on my own. Take a look at a few pics of the finished project:

| I absolutely love the colors! |
In addition to the scarf above, I am also working on a couple of other projects...one is a knit hat in a really cool orange color (perfect for those cold UT football games) and the other is a dish cloth. I don't have a picture of the hat, but I hope the dish cloth looks like this when I'm done:
Here are a few other projects I would love to do eventually...

| These would be cute Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers this year! |
 |
| I've always wanted fingerless gloves...how cool would it be if I made them? |

| I think Patrick would love this scarf! |
Do you knit? If so, what are some projects you have done in the past? I'm definitely looking for new ideas, so feel free to offer any advice you might have!
