Knitting Class... Knitting IN Class

I must begin by saying I have the most amazing teacher! He lets us knit (and needle point) in class! We have had many discussions about why he lets us knit in class.

Option 1: He understands we are listening and listen better when we knit. This is a strong possibility since he often tells how a family member knitted, so he understands. Option 2: He is fascinated that we can knit and listen. Option 3: It keeps us quiet and we don’t make silly and sassy comments. I swear we aren’t rude, he laughs at the comments.

Whatever the reason is, he lets us knit so I get 3 extra hours of knitting a week done. So I decided to finally start weeding down the yarn box. A couple years ago my friend’s mom gave me all this yarn when she moved because she didn’t want to move it. Its leftover yarn from projects so there really isn’t enough to make much. I could make hats or scarves or baby clothes. I hate hats and have tons of scarves so I decided to make baby sweaters. Its moments like this when I feel so smart, I make a cute baby sweater with free yarn and free buttons (I have tons) and save it till either I have kids or a friend does. Free gifts, Free clothes!

Since they are so quick I have finished a few in the past few weeks. I’ll be posting finished pictures with links to the patterns later, but here are a few mid-way photos. I feel like I should also say that my grade has gone up since I have started knitting, so it proves I am paying attention.
