I've been knitting now for about 9 months and really haven't done anything very complicated. I discovered I don't like to keep track of stitches and prefer mindless knitting, with exceptional yarn that hides my mistakes. I did start 1 sweater, but got sidetracked by work. I've been so busy I haven't had time for my hobbies. I do enjoy knitting and wearing my unique scarves. Some are SO unique I won't wear them. I have learned a lot and intend to keep it up, along with my beading.

One of my co-workers (from Chicago) clued me in on Knitting Pattern Central - all their patters are free!

In Scotland it is starting to get chilly.I wear scarves as accessories.I buy interesting textured yarn and sometimes mix shades.In our woolshops modern yarns are very fashionable and I now have a selection which coordinate with my sweaters.
I would like to knit fashionable winter hats(or learn to crochet hats)

Mountain Ash, I am so jealous - you get to purchase Colinette yarn - it is so beautiful! I just bought some from a UK website, even with the exchange rate and shipping charges, it's much less than purchasing in the states. You do have some great woolmakers (is that what they're called) in Europe.
