I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but yes, I know how to knit. I first learned a few years ago when I was in college, and had actual free time (in between classes and work) to learn. I made a few scarves which I gave away as Christmas gifts, and (a little too ambitiously) started a sweater for Blake which I have yet to finish. I got busy with wedding planning, and stopped knitting.
But with Autumn approaching, I wanted a pretty scarf that would compliment most of the clothes in my Fall wardrobe. So I decided to knit one. I took a trip to my favorite knitting shop, Knits by Nana (where I first learned to knit) and picked out some really pretty (kind of expensive) yarn. And it took me a few weeks, but I finished!
