Success!

I finally created a blog for my very self and my knitted projects. After I stewed for 30 min over the title, I decided to go with The Poor Knitter because well, I'm poor ha ha ha. Since I am poor I only get to knit with acrylic yarn. My lovely babu Derek purchased 2 hanks of 70%baby alpaca 30%merino wool for me for my birthday in February. I made long hand/arm warmers with one hank and I haven't decided what to do with the other.  That's as close as I come to Luxury Yarn. Today I have no school and some homework to do. Since I woke up this morning I have been exploring this new website I found last night called Wool and the Gang. I wish I had 80 bucks to blow on one of their kits. One day.

When I was 16 maybe 17 my 6 yr old niece showed me how to knit.  My sister has been an avid knitter from ...I don't know when. I never picked up knitting needles again until the winter of 2009. My sister bought me some yarn and my own pair of knitting needles for my birthday that year. I looked on the internet and started knitting. It turned out to be a disaster and I was pretty bummed. Down those needles went until last winter. I picked them up and knitted my 4yr old son a scarf. Since then I have knitted leg warmers, hand warmers, headbands, hats, and a sweater! Which I am almost done with. I will post pictures up soon. I'm Itching to finish my sweater now. HAVE A LOVELY DAY!
