New Knitting Project

Fall is here and with it the desire to be cozy and nothing is cozier than knitting and having your project warm your hands and lap as you work.  My friend from the fiber arts group I belong to, Babs, taught me how to do this amazing double-sided knit stitch that allows you to basically knit two pieces of fabric together at the same time.  The result is an ultra-warm garment with a "pocket" to trap air that warms up when worn providing insulation.  (Babs, I try to keep my blog anonymous, so that is why you are referred to my your favorite nickname. ;-))  I am currently making my inaugural project with this method for my mother's boyfriend and I have to say I want to keep it for myself!




Not too bad for my first try! I will try to post the how-to later.
