Claire learns how to add photos!

So this is my first attempt at loading up a photo of something I knitted, I'm such a caveperson that I needed help every step of the way, but all being well, I should have retained the necessary know-how to be able to do it all by myself next time.

The photo is of a blanket that I knitted as a wedding present for my friends Jen and Matt, although I'm told Matt doesn't get much of a chance to use it! It's knitted on 9mm needles using Wendy Mistral, super chunky. However, even though it knits up really fast, I still didn't give it to them until a month after the wedding. Oh well, at least it got to them eventually.

So, with my new found skill, I will hopefully be blogging much more, because although I love words and writing, nothing explains a project better than a picture! I might even finally add a profile pic to Ravelry!

A Knitting Blog is Born!

Hello one and all who have stumbled onto my blog page, this is a brand new blog on knitting! Plus probably other stuff too, but knitting is the main focus of this online project.
There are dozens of knitting blogs out there already, and I'll be referencing the ones I feel are worth sharing with others as I find them, to help spread the love and global community connections that knitting and internet combined can generate. Although, as was pointed out to me at my knitting group last night, we have yet to figure out how to knit and use a computer at the same time. Whoever figures that one out is worth their weight in gold!

I also want to use the blog as a knitting journal to keep track of all the projects I've worked on. There are things I've created and given away over the years and it would be lovely to have a way of looking back over them, to give me a boost about all the gifts I have made for my friends and family (I rarely keep anything I knit).

So that's my reason for the blog, I hope you come back often. I can't promise I'll write alot or frequently but hopefully you'll enjoy sharing my knitting woes and wins! I also need to figure out how to put photos on this page...x
