Hoodie Sweater

My friend asked me to knit along with her, and we decided to make a hoodie sweater for our daughters. They were at the same age and also had the same size.

We found a pattern from www.redheart.com, and started to knit at early December 2009. The progress is not too smooth because of the different size of knitting needle and yarn we used from the needle and yarn suggested on the pattern. We had to convert the number of stitches to fit for our need.

Finally it's done! My girl was so happy to wear it.

Learn to Knit

I've never dream of crochet and knitting, but after a few times viewing crochet and knitting products and trying to practise it, I fell in love with this activity.
My knitting activity was beginning in the end of 2008. I learned how to cast on and make a knit and purl. It ended with frustration and feeling that I can't knit at all. Fortunately, my friend came and gave me two sets of knitting needle as a present. Then she taught me the right way to knit. After several times learned knitting, finally I can do some knit and purl.
My first project in knitting was a discloth. After that, I tried to make some things that can be worn like shawl and hat.
After a year of learning how to knit, I decided to continue this activity, as this has been a new hobby for me, and I really enjoy it.
