a very knitty wednesday January 10, 2007

New mini paintings in the store!

Well, my first knitting class was fantastico. But I'm still convinced that I have some serious hand-eye coordination issues. The knitting teacher gave me one of those baffled, pitying looks. The very same kind of look that my drum teacher gave me on my first day of drum class a few years ago. It goes beyond being frustrated with my lack of being able to mimic a simple motion, it's the kind of look that says, "I am deeply concerned with your brain functionality." Ha!

All that aside, it was a blast. My sister and I sat together on a little couch and cackled our way through "casting on" and a few basic stitches. It's nice to have her there because we're both left handed and could show each other how our hands were supposed to look, once we got the hang of it.

On a side note, Wendy brought up a good point about the voting for My Favorite Mirror. The process does appear to have you buying something, but I assure you, you do not. You just have to "pretend" to buy the mirror, by filling in the quantity button and checking out.

Thanks for voting!
