Knitting & Crocheting!

I love holidays. I always get to do the most random things. The hip thing to do this holiday? Knitting!!! I remember when I was in my late single digits (7-9 yrs old)/ early double digits (11ish) I wanted to learn how to knit, but I somehow couldn't manage for the thread to stay on the needles and I kept complaining about the hookless needles. I mean, why couldnt knitting needles just have hooks, right?

Yeaaahh! So that's when Mom introduced me to crocheting and crocheting-me had been born. I LOVED crocheting. It was super duper cool! I enjoyed the fact that the ONE needle (instead of two) that I had to use had a hook and things didn't just slide off my needles. It was my favourite thing to do.

Over the years I crocheted this and that until this holiday, when I decided to take up the whole knitting thing again. *sigh* Things still slide off my needles, but a lot less often. I started last week and I can see something that resembles a pattern already ... *excited* in only 1 week! I'm gonna continue knitting! I will NOT give up this time. Except right now I decided I needed oven cloths, sooooo I shall produce some. I am going to buy awesome wool tomorrow and start crocheting right away. I haven't decided on the color scheme though. *sigh*. That's going to be the hardest thing to do. We have a lot of reds, beiges, oranges and blues in our kitchen ... Maybe something along those lines? Let me consult my feng shui knowledge and see what colors are good.

P.S.: Updates on color selection will follow soon.

P.P.S.: I just did some research on colors and what not. This is the design I used to go with

Alternating between several colors *yawn*. I need a challenge! How about something like this instead!

or even something like this

That's all pretty cool. I shall decide tomorrow. Until then, I shall sleepy sleep! Night niiiight!
