Big undertaking



I'm thinking of trying to knit something like this sweater. Definitely would be the biggest project I've tried so far…

I've been turned on to the idea of crocheting and knitting as of late, and this sweater cinches it. I must learn. My friend Susan recently did some fab knitted washcloths that are really inspiring, too. http://persimmonandpink.com/?p=1188

You can do it! It just takes time and practice. I had some basic knowledge, but just a few months back decided to commit myself to really learning. My mom bought me maran's illustrated knitting & crocheting: http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Knitting-Crocheting-maranGraphics-Development/dp/1592008623/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264686379&sr=1-2 which explains everything with pictures. I highly recommend that book for getting started. It'll keep you from pulling your hair out!

Thanks for the recommendation! I've added it to my Amazon cart. Surprised at how excited I am to get started.
