can I not find any cute knitting patterns for kids? Not babies and toddlers, but kids! My kiddo is almost 8. Most patterns I have found don't range large enough for her. The idea of knitting a sweater for my kiddo is much less daunting than the idea of knitting something for myself. And I have always done better at things meant for others. Things meant for myself tend to sit ;)
Although, I have to say the scarf I was making for my daughter bored the hell out of me, so it sat too. What can I do with 400 yards of sport weight pink wool that won't bore me to death? Something with cables, maybe.
I need to learn a simple crochet chain. My shawl calls for a provisional cast on, starting with a chain. Eek. And really, I need to learn it anyway, since I made a summer tank for the kiddo that really needs the crochet edge to stabilize the arm bands. There has to be a site somewhere online like knittinghelp.com for crocheting, right? ;)
PS: Have I mentioned that I think it's the coolest thing that Denver is only the 3rd stop on the Yarn Harlot's tour? She travels on the 3rd, too. So hopefully she will actually have some time to see more of Denver than just the airport (with its slightly odd looking Bison art, lol) and The Tattered Cover. Speaking of which, I need to check on Ravelry and see if there are any meet ups planned for the day. Ciao!
