Knitting, oh no.... oh yes!

So Anika has been wanting to learn to knit, since one day she saw a girl about a year older than her knitting away in the grocery store. I told her we would wait till she was a little older, I told her 8... well she turned 8 last month:O And her gift was knitting needles, yarn, and a book.

I don't(didn't) knit and so I of course had to learn so I could help her. Needless to say I just can't put the needles down. I tried really hard to fight it, I told Nathaniel everyday, I don't want to knit why am I doing this. Not that I really didn't want to knit it's just do I need another hobby? Probably not, since I am a huge procrastinator and I have a ton of other hobbies, all with countless unfinished projects:O
But it hypnotic and fast and easy in the since that you can take it with you at all times... not so with machine sewing or scrap booking. I can sit outside and do it, I can watch TV, I can ride in the car, I even knitted while on the plane:O
No official finished projects, I have made a lot of swatches to determine gauge and I have made a few dish clothes. I will post a picture of a completed project as soon as I finish one, because like my true nature, I currently have 3 different projects on 3 different sets of needles.
And yes Anika is knitting, not as much as me. She says "It's all the same just over and over again", yes that is knitting, row after row, over and over again!
