Sticks and String Excite Me...

As you may have already figured out,
this here is one more knitting post!

I have been knitting for 17 months now and I am completely addicted.
I get kind of excited when I talk about knitting,
and there is some expectation in me,
that everyone should understand that.
And if you are a knitter, you are shaking your head right now,
as you get it.

I finished the Guernsey Wrap,
can I please get a "whoop...whoop" for that 
as I have been working on it forever.
It is the second Guernsey I have completed, it will be a gift,
for someone who is very special.

So here it is, drum roll, drum roll please...


Here she is, stretched out, blocked and drying.
This gives a better idea of how big she is.


I did get a little sad as it came off the needles,
I think I may have developed an unhealthy relationship with it.

I am joining Ginny at Small Things

Head shake, whoop whoop, and a very loud drum roll. All for you.
Great job.

You've only been knitting for 17 months????? You are amazing! That is a challenging pattern to have accomplished and it looks amazing! Well done - that wrap is on my list to knit after I finish Topiary - now I'm not so sure I can wait ... ;-)

What a beautiful and challenging pattern, especially for a new knitter. Congrats!

I love your wrap. Several of my friends knit the same pattern and have said how much they enjoy it. You are doing an amazing job for someone who hasn't knit very long.
It's fab!!!

A well deserved WHOOP WHOOP. This is beautiful, I love the pattern and it's so neatly knitted. I can't believe that you've been knitting for such a short time. I must check out where you found it.
Maybe you could make one for yourself and then the love affair can begin all over again.
Happy knitting,
debx

I'm definitely not a knitter, but you definitely still get a big whoop from me! Somebody has to be an admirer of talent! That's my role not life, since I have none of my own!

Judy said...

Yes--I understand. I am "suppose" to be finishing up a crocheted Queen Size bed blanket, but I got hooked on knitting bath mitts and a hat--with such intricate patterns I could put them down!! I had a heck of a time working with the double pointed needles!!

linda said...

It looks amazing well done on finishing such a lovely piece of work. :)
