Knitting Projects that Make Me Wish I Knitted
Posted by Becky under Uncategorized
It’s a little strange to me that the hottest month of the year is the one that has me wondering if I ought to figure out knitting after all. I’ve tried knitting before, and I am terrible at it. Terrible! The same with crochet. I just can’t wrap my head around it. That’s especially a bummer right now, because this seems to be the The Week of the Awesome Knitting Projects. Ready?
The Dharma Scarf

You know I’m LOST-obsessed. My friends make fun of my no-talking rule while we’re watching new episodes, but I’m not sorry! This is LOST! Dharma! Hanso! This is serious business. I am full of scarf-awe. Click the picture to check out more of Genegrl1’s pictures of this scarf and her other craftiness on Flickr.
The Mario Scarf

Cassie is on a quest to knit a scarf depicting the entire 1-1 level of Super Mario Brothers! Amazing!! And so ambitious! I remember playing this game when I was wee. I’d stay up so late trying to beat the game/arguing with my sister about who’s turn it was! I wonder if I still remember that castle maze and all its tricks!
In conclusion, all of this has me wondering if I ought to pick up the knitting needles again and give it one more shot.

What great projects! I recently learned how to knit using a website and I wanted to pass it along. It has a few basic how to videos with tips on knitting. I’m not sure if you’re interested in how to knit videos, but I found these useful when I was just starting out.
