Gator Girl Knits

I created this blog to share my love of knitting and my knitting projects with friends, family and other knitters on the internet. I also wanted to share some of the free patterns or tips I find with other knitters. Thanks for taking time to visit my blog! Jennifer

Baby Blanket Boo Hoo!

The baby blanket is off to a very bad start! The pattern was wrong; in all my attempts to "fix" the pattern, I simply couldn't. I am now looking for a new pattern. Most of the ones I am finding are for crochet. There was one I saw for knitting, but it involved cables. I am not ready for a cable project yet. Anyhow, if you have ideas, please point me in the right direction.

Back to knitting... And other things!

After a long hiatus, I have started knitting again! I finished my summer of back-to-back classes, but I started working again and taking classes. I am also busy studying for my PRAXIS exam, which I will take in November. I need to pass this exam, so I can receive a teaching license. Despite all the various things in my life, I have picked up knitting again. I have abandoned the felted needle case... I was getting very bored. A teacher at the school I work at is pregnant. I have decided to knit a baby blanket for her. I purchased some bulk, cotton, variegated yarn a while back. I got a pound of yarn for next to nothing. I love getting a good deal... even if I have no idea when I am going to use the yarn. The blanket got off to a rough start. I am following a pattern that I got off another blog, but I think there may have been an error in it. My blanket was not looking like the one in the picture. So I had to experiment a few times before I could see the pattern emerging the way I thought it should look. I will post a picture soon. Until next time...
