Knitting

During Christmas, it seems we have started a new tradition in my family. Each year we unwrap a knitted treasure made especially by my mom. Last year we all received  scarves, but this year we were given a tuque (or beanies if you will). I am amazed at how quickly and beautifully my mom can knit her creations...they are so wonderfully made. I watch her as she knits away while watching a movie or visiting...I can hear the clicking from the needles and it's so comforting. These are the presents I will cherish forever, because I know it was made especially with love in mind (I don't care if that sounds cheesy...cause it just happens to be true)!  As I looked at the massive ball of yarn at my mothers feet, I realized that this is something I would like to try...again. Yes, I tried once a LONG time ago and knit my neice a very small scarf. Then, I got bored and moved on (like I do most things I try to get into). But, I'm ready to try again! There are so many things you can knit and have fun with, so we will see how far I get. Here are a few knitted things I love! 

Here are the lovely toques we received this Christmas!
