Learning is Half the Fun

I have desided to learn how to knit. I have see all of the wonderful things everyone has been making and it also looks like fun.

Michelle and I went to Books-A-Million on Sunday and we came home with a knitting starter kit. All I had to do was supply the yarn. Which wasn't too hard. I had some left over from an attempted quilt venture that didn't go as planned.

On Monday Michelle and I make a supply run to get some more yarn and some other small things to get me going in my knitting adventures. I picked up 5 skews of worsted weight yarn and 2 small "balls" of worsted weight Peaches & Cream Lemon-Lime. I made my change purse out of the worsted weight Lemon-Lime since it was the only multi-colored yarn i have.

After I finish the cell phone case in Aggies color, I'm going to make a wallet and a purse to go with the change purse I made. I'll have to go and get some buttons and a zipper so I can make my purse. I have some fabric out of my stash that hase little yellow tulips buds on it that I am going to use as a liner for my purse. Instead of trying to make a button hole for the purse I am just going to put a flap on it to cover up the zipper or I might just meet up the two ends at the top where the zipper is going. Who knows we'll see what strikes me when the time comes.

How do you like that kit? I've wondered about the patterns in it. Your change purse is very cute!
