Welcome!

G'day and thanks for stopping by! I'm a 20 something knitter living in Brisbane, Australia. I've been knitting on and off since I was in grade 5, but moreso during my pregnancies. My last (and I mean last!) pregnancy had my knitting a flurry and the urge to knit is with me still :) I'm trying to stretch out my repatoire, currently working on creating dishcloth patterns.

'Sharon' Knitted Washcloth

'Sharon' Knitted Washcloth
Here it is, my very first dishcloth pattern! (I apologize for the dodgy photo!) Also, I scanned it fresh from being knitted, so it isn't 'blocked'.
I guess I'm what you could call a 'middle of the range' knitter :) I love to knit things like baby clothes, beanies, wrist warmers and dishcloths. One of my in-the-works items at the moment is a cardigan for myself. I prefer to knit things that I can finish within one or two days, so this cardie is somewhat of a challenge! I'll knit it for a few hours, then put it away for weeks at a time - hopefully it'll be ready for next winter, lol.
