Knitter's: The Next Generation

I am so excited! I found an awesome opportunity for Sissy. She will be starting classes at Knitter's Kove on Thursday! She will be going to class one hour once a week through the end of July! I can't wait - not only will she get to learn to knit, but I will get one hour every week at the yarn store!!! This is a win-win. Maybe instead of writing the "what I did this summer" essay, she can show a cabled scarf.

I have this idea that as Sissy grows, she can have an outlet for stress and creativity and the confidence of knowing that she has mastered a skill that most other kids haven't even glanced at. I may be getting a little ahead of myself, though. She probably needs to learn to tie her shoelaces too....

A Nifty Thrifty


I took the kids thrifting this morning and while I view thrifting as a wonderful treasure hunt; the little people couldn't get excited. When I found this quilt, however, I got excited enough for all of us! It' BEAUTIFUL, hand quilted and in great shape! It has amazing vintage fabric pieces and is hand-quilted! I found this great piece for a song! Yeah!

Inaugural Post

Hi there! Welcome to Pine Needle Knits. I have been tremendously inspired by some of the blogs I read daily, and decided to give it a try myself. I hope you will enjoy this blog. I think it will be a lot of fun to share projects and pictures and even the craziness of day to day life. I can't wait to start this journey and I hope you will take it with me!
