Last night I began (I know this is way behind but...) the Harry Potter scarf for my father's Christmas present. I cast on and, since it is an easy and straight forward pattern, began knitting along while watching TV. I got about 3 inches done last night before I really took a look at it and it is WAY too wide. I am very perturbed! Here I was thinking I was being a good doobie and flying along on my project when I didn't take the time to make sure I was happy with the product.
Moral of the story, slow down a bit here girlie!
Until Next Time,
Frogging - Rip It!
Broke Knitter
When my passion for knitting was reignited after my Grandmother passed away, I never thought about how all consuming the passion for knitting could become. I spend too much time knitting. Being away from family and away from the wonderful yarn store my Grandmother and Mother both adore is hard! Living in NYC is expensive. And so begins the tales of the Broke Knitter of NYC.

How Did This Happen?
I know I say it every year, but HOW did Christmas spring upon us this quickly?! I am now in a rush to finish my hand made Christmas gifts. I, of course, haven't even cast on for the scarf I am making for my father. But somehow, I have have the confidence that everything will be finished in time.
I think that the reason for my extreme confidence and happiness is that Randy and I just signed a lease to move to Manhattan's Upper East Side! With shorter commutes in sight I am the happiest person in the Big Apple. Who wants to help Broke Knitter move?
Well, I am off to finish up these holiday gifts. Who else is scrambling? I will post pictures of my progress the next two weeks. Please feel free to share!!
