Striking a Balance

Posted by Emily

I am really beginning to understand knitting. The Stitch 'N Bitch Handbook has helped me through nearly every problem so far, save one. I feel like I should be knitting things much more complicated than I'm actually capable of handling at this point.

For example, I spent most of my evening trying to learn the dragon scale pattern (like this one). I'll get it eventually I'm sure, but it is beyond my skill level. I should be working on those coffee cozies and maybe getting a start on that cat sweater. But no, I try to learn a complicated new pattern so I can use it on my coffee cozies.

Oh well, it's a good way to learn...

In other news, a blog redesign is in the works. I switched my blog address to mangotangoknits because I changed my Ravelry username to mangotango. I have a good idea for a banner, but I need to purchase a mango first. Once I have the banner made, then I'll redesign the site around a mango-y theme!
