Journals and Knitting

Well today marks the end of one journal and tomorrow will be the beginning of the new one. I am obssessed with writing in my journals! I feel it is something I have to do everyday or most days at least. It is always sad to leave one but very excitiing to start a new one! I have had my new one for several months now and I have been ready to start writing in it! I am very picky about my journals but not as picky as I am about my coffee mugs. I am really weird. It is just something that gets me through the day! I love to go back and re-read some of my old journals. I have prayers for many things and it is awesome to go back and see how God has answered all of them. I started writing about the time JOnathan and I started dating so it is really cool to read about my prayers for our dating relationship and now about our marriage! God has brought us through so much!




Ok on the knitting....I know this sounds like I am a grandma but I have found a new love for knitting! One of the little girls I work with has learned how to knit from her grandma and she was showing me what she learned. It really inspired me! I don't want to be one of those grandmas who can't teach their grandchildren how to do anything! I can't sew and before yesterday I couldn't knit! Now I have something to teach my grandchildren. I went to hobby lobby and bought my first pair of needles and yarn. I didn't get the cutest yarn because I just wanted something to practice with. At first I kept getting fed up because my fingers were getting all tangled up and the yarn just looked like a bunch of knots.




But then I decided not to give up just yet. After a couple of hours of yelling at the lady on youtube who was trying to teach me, I finally got it! And once you get it, it is real easy! I am still working on the basic knit stitch and will eventually try to make cool patterns and use different colors. Here is a pic of what I have so far. Not sure if I want to keep going and try to make a scarf or just start over since there are some mistakes. I guess I will keep going on this one for now!
