February has been so crazy! Thank goodness for the knitting club, because my knitting has been seriously sparse otherwise.

Just wanted to update with a picture of the hat I finally finished. I have had the yarn and the idea for quite a while, but I just finally got around to making it. This is Zack and me in the snow that we had 2 weeks ago. I made his hat too.
Hopefully I will have some time in March to knit a little more than I have. Only time will tell <3

Rachel's Cowl


Above is Rachel’s Cowl, and I love it! I made this for a good friend who I met in what we like to call our “marriage promotion class.” Oh and what a class that was. While I struggled through the content and the conservative, black-and-white-ness of it all, Rachel, Sarah, and Virginia kept me sane. The thing about Rachel is that she is always so put together. She wears the most wonderful outfits that exude fashion, confidence, and originality. So when she asked me to make her something, I was stoaked. Sarah helped us with an idea and then I wound up with the above piece. I took a few attempts at it trying different ideas that I had in my head. In the end my decision was to go with a chunky cable stitch. I wrote down the pattern as I went, so if you are interested, let me know. :)

I had the first meeting with what will become the Knitwits: The Official UGA Knitting Club last night. It was a wonderful group of ladies and I honestly had such a great time. I really look forward to all that we are going to try and accomplish.

But I have got a lot to try and done before this supposed snow today! (Let’s not jinx it, but that would be awesome!)
Thanks for reading! :)
