So I bought a new knitting book

and it is AMAZING.

It has squirrels

and neat geometric things

and skulls and crossbones

and, of course, zombies

Here’s the book. BUY IT.

Knitting fail!

Had a really stressful day today so, I thought I would try to finish this hat I’ve been working on. Hoping that it would clear my head. Nope Dumb Dumb Drumb I kept messing up which frustrated me even more. I would drop a stitch or forget which row I was on… and somehow I ended up with 1 more stitch than I started off with. Ughhhhh tip number 1 - don’t knit when you can’t focus. Your knitting will look good when your mind is clear and you feel good. Your knitting will reflect your mood. I know, it’s crazy but it’s the truth.

Welcome! 😸

Greetings! N00b Knitter here! Thanks for stopping by!

So, a little bit about me…. I’ve only been knitting for about a month and honestly, I’m addicted! There is something about curling up on the couch with some tea (or wine 🍷 heh) and knitting the day away. It clears my mind and it’s a great way to calm down and relax.

See, I have high anxiety and a lot of depression… especially in the winter time. When I’m knitting… I forget all the things that were bothering me. I am no longer stressing out about work or … life. It’s just me and the needles, trying to remember if I should purl or knit. ☺️

Hopefully this blog creates some inspiration for someone. I will be posting interesting knitting ideas, patterns, tips, and tricks. I will also be posting my own work and the patterns I used.
