Knitting

When I was a kid, my mom led a 4-H group. We learned how to sew, cook, and knit (among other things). The sewing didn't stick - I'm really bad at it. But I did enjoy knitting. I made potholders and countless afghans over the years. Then in high school/college, my sister taught me how to crochet. I decided that I liked that better so again, I made several afghans.

But late last year, I decided that I wanted to take up knitting again. Maybe I was just nesting (I was in my third trimester). Anyway, I have made some scarves and hats recently. Then I decided that I wanted to learn to make clothes. So I made a baby sweater (actually I've done 2 but one of them isn't quite finished yet - it still has to be sewn together). Here it is. For my first real clothing project, I think it turned out pretty well!
