I am crafty, Yes i am!

Well it seems as though I am in a race with my cousin who is also as geeks would call a "blogger" I found this out by accident and man, she is one up on me. I gotta get going on writing about my odd little life.
After reading hers and laughing about how her life sounds oddly like my own I get the itch to update my blog. After sitting here for an hour, scratching my head and wondering what the hell I am going to write about, I again take the cue from my cousin and write about my crafty silly ways.
I decided to take up knitting again, you may ask how old is this girl righting about drinking, men, and redneck jeeps. I am 23 not 65 as many would have thought reading this blog and wondering "do 23 year olds knit." To which I respond "Hey, all the cool kids are doing it." I can knit a mean scarf and baby blanket but that is where the creativity stops. Until Saturday, My cousin made a comment about how she wanted to wear arm bands to work as her hands get cold typing.. I thought hmm, I can make those. So off to the craft store I went, loaded down with yarn and ready to start my new project. I came home, got my knitting needles and prepared to sit and watch TV all the while knitting away like a fool.
This is how far I got.... Not quite the start I wanted but hey, its like riding a bike or taking up jogging again, it takes time to get the stamina down. my mom, she can knit a king size blanket in probably a day, her knitting needles are smoking when she is done. Me, I tend to take a big longer but I do end up getting it done.
Now Michales is having a sale today with a coupon!!!!! I am feeling CRAFTY!
