Knitting - The Craft of Choice

This is it, my very first post on a fancy new blog and I am ready to go! I have always loved any and all craft projects and I always find myself fiddling with something new. My latest crafting passion is knitting and it is shaping up to be right up my alley.
Top 5 reasons knitting is my craft of choice:
1. Knitting requires very few tools and accessories which makes it easy to move and keep track of.
2. Knitting can be a very cost efficient craft as long as you have a good set of needles. There are yarns that will meet any budget.
3. Knitting can be done anywhere, anytime. Your latest project can accompany you in the car, on the train or even on a cruise.
4. Knitting can be a welcome distraction to keep you interest during dull conversations or during movies that your husand makes you watch.
5. Knitting offers projects that are practical as well as just plain fun!

My husband is amused by my latest interest in this seemingly antique hobby and recently bought me this book which shows his love and support of my latest adventure!
