Knitting!

Last night I had my first of two nights in a knitting class! I'm taking this class at Passion Knit on Yonge with my best friend and our mother and a couple other ladies. We are knitting a Moebius which can be worn many different ways. It can be a scarf, a shrug, a cowl or a hood. I'm knitting it with this absolutely gorgeous deep purple merino/cashmere yarn. Its called "como" by Debbie Bliss.


We used a provisional cast on which is temporary. So that means that when I've finished knitting 38" in length we will take out the temporary cast on and join the ends together making the seam invisible. Pretty cool!
I'm using 15mm needles which are huge and look pretty silly, but the effect of the knit is really nice.


I'm going to be knitting during all me free time, which isn't much!
