getting my knit on
Last night I hosted my second craft night. This time there were five of us knitting, embroidering, making stationery and creating decorations for a baby’s room. I am 1/3 the way through the scarf I started at the end of February. I wish I was inspired to (or remembered to) knit on a daily basis, but, sadly, I don’t pull it out of the bag as often as I should. My mom frequently suggests that instead of noshing on sweets and treats while watching TV in the evening, I should keep my hands occupied by knitting. But I can’t multitask like she does. I’d miss everything happening on screen because my eyes would be glued to whatever I was knitting.
I learned an important lesson last night: When hosting a craft night, make sure you invite somebody who actually knows what she’s doing! I made several mistakes while knitting my scarf, but one of the gals around the table was able to tell me how to correct them. She saved me a trip to the knitting store today because I was able to get myself back on track. Thanks, Julia!
When do you like to craft? Are you able to multitask like my mom?

i think it’s so awesome that you have craft nights. i’m so jealous!
I was happy to help! And thanks so much for the invite, I had a lot of fun!!
I knit in front of the TV every now and then, but only if it’s something I’m not fussed about really watching – i need my eyes on my knitting too!
Your craft night sounds great – I’ve thought about trying to do something like this, but not sure how many crafty people I could gather up all on one night.
