I want to KNIT!!!

[Cecropia]

Every time I go to Knitty, I drool, I covet, I MUST LEARN TO KNIT so that I can make these wonderful things!!!  I know the knit stitch and the purl stitch but that's about it.  I think I need a mentor (and uh, free time, and no small children impaling themselves on my needles).

Here we go, Drool-a-thon!

I want to learn to knit too.  I have a friend who said she'd teach me, but she has three kids under 5 and I've got a very busy 21 month old.  When are we going to have time to sit quietly and knit??? 

I'm thinking about starting a bi-weekly date night with her, so we can visit and I can learn to knit.  We'll have to enlist the dad's to take on the children.... what a genius idea!  I must go call her now....

those stuffed invertebrates look like the crab thing on the Futurama cartoon (from the makers of the Simpsons).  I can't think of his name.  I'm too tired. 

I really wanna learn to knit, too.  My sister knows and was just showing off this cute baby blanket she just finished.  I just don't have the patience or time to learn right now.

The skirt is amazing!  Paige just learned how to knit.  She is making a blanket for her bed.  I don't have the patience though.
