Small Crafting Confession

I have a small craft confession to make. In an effort to (1) make knitting not just a meer comment in my list of hobbies because I happen to know how, and (2) use the pattern I feel looks and feels the best, I have been KNITTING a sweater. I actually chose the knitted pattern provided to donate kid's sweaters at church rather than the crocheted one because the crocheted one is too clunky! I'm nearly done with the second portion, and then I will continue on with the yarn I used for the crocheted one.....don't worry, I'm not taking the crochted ones apart, I'm just using the same color. I've got a LOT of it....a very large ball. Then I will go on to other projects. All of THOSE will be crocheted. I think, except for a few select objects, I will be using knitting for worn items.

Rosa's afghan is progressing nicely. After my fit of sorting through all of my yarn---which, of course, wasn't as hard as it sounds---I found quite a bit of varigeted and ombres. So it's growing. Not that I didn't actually have quite a bit to start with. Soon the problem of what I'll do with all of the left over bits will present itself. I'm thinking I will actually use just as much as I can in the afghan, pairing up colors with other ones row to row and even in the same row. We'll see. Either way I know it's going to be wonderful, it's already looking great! :-)

Soon we will be getting a new tower, with a nice and fast processor that we can use our hard drive with Windows XP on it! :-D I will be posting pictures then!!! :-D
