I knit this for my Mom this past Hanukkah. I liked that it was a "sample" pattern where the stitches changed every 16 rows or so. It kept thing interesting and she seemed to really like it!

About Me
My knitting adventure began way back in 2002. My aunt patiently taught me the basics one weekend while I was visiting her in Boston MA. I fiddled around with it for a month or so and promptly lost interest.
Than in 2005, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. This debilitating condition causes widespread pain throughout the entire body as well as a whole host of other symptoms. My hands in particular have become more painful as the years have gone by.
I decided to give knitting another try in 2006. The first few weeks were beyond painful. But I was determined not to let the fibro take another thing that I enjoyed away. Over time, I learned to push through the pain and as a result, my hands hurt less and less as time goes on. Sure, some days my hands are awful, but I don't care.
Knitting has become akin to meditation for me. I LOVE it and am always thinking two projects ahead! Walking through yarn shops touching all the fibers or pouring through knitting patterns gives me the greatest pleasure.
So I decided to start keeping track of all of my projects. I'm hoping to be able to chronicle my increasing skill as well as my utter joy in each accomplishment.
