The Grand Opening of the Owl's Knitted Nest!

Hello, world, and welcome to the Owl's Nest!

This shall be a purely knitting blog (...and I'm keeping a count-down of how long until I violate that statement) for me, since every knitter and their cat seems to have one nowadays. I'm a knitter since the end of August, 2007, so I'm been knitting for all of 3.5 months and counting. I'm absolutely in love with the craft, and I plan on continuing for the rest of my life. It's a serious shame among the knitting community that we can't knit as a well-paying profession, so I'm just going to have to keep it an interest while I study to go into medicine.

I don't really have an impressive amount of finished projects under my belt, and I've only started to crochet, so I'm not exactly the expert to go for big, huge, complicated pattern help or finding cool, fancy patterns made by me here. However, I'm here to mingle with the knitting community, and I'm honoured to learn from you all! *bow*

Me, now and later:
- My most complicated projects are a capelet and a teddy bear, and both are very simple in design.
- I currently have two knitted projects-in-progress: a Harry Potter scarf for my best friend who's a Slytherin through and through (Ravenclaw and proud!) and another capelet for my Grandma. Both I'm trying to finish before Christmas
- I also have a crocheted farmer's market bag in progress as well, but it looks nice, and I'm not worried about it.
- I want to crochet A Maiden's Glory for my friend for Christmas, and it's a priority because I'm sending it by mail. However, I'm stuck on the instructions... at the second half the first darned leaf! In retrospect, anything but a scarf isn't a very good beginner's project for crochet...
- I currently also have a million other projects I want to do, include countless ones on websites and books, and some that I want to design myself. School knows this, and is swamping me with homework. >.<
