A Stitch In Time...

I remember sitting in class, loathing to knit a single stitch, waiting for the day we were told we could take our knitting home to work on over the weekend.  What I was really looking forward to was getting back to school to say "Hey, look how far I've knitted, a-ha yes, I did all this, all by myself!"  .....well lets just say that that wasn't exactly the case.  I would beg my Mom to help me, and of course, knit untidily so it looked like me!

Now, many many years later, I am knitting and I am happy to report I don't get my Mom to help, with an ocean and a continent between us, I've had to do it all by myself!  

So what is it that I knit? The answer is newborn photo props.  I wish I could say a blanket or a cardi, but facing 100+ stitches still terrifies me.  Give me a chunky yarn and some fat needles and I'll knit you a  hat in an hour!  If I'm feeling adventures I'll swop the chunky yarn for some lace weight yarn and knit you a wrap in 2!  If I can do it in a day, between juggling being a mother, wife and employee, its my kind of thing!
