Classroom Crafting Field Trip

This year I have "3 new years goals". I blogged about this a while back and I thought I would give an update on this.

I've been working on #2 and #3 for a while now, but this week I will conquer #1...Learn how to knit...or at least try to learn. Today, I am taking you on a field trip with me. Today, I will buy my supplies and I will attempt to make these for fall. Their is something so chic about these punk fingerless gloves

I have no idea if I will be successful, but I'm going to give them a shot. 

Here we go...

I went to my local Michael's craft store and found all kinds of supplies. It's funny how nice the people are in the knitting aisles. There were about 5 sweet grandma's hanging out there, talking about yarn. I love color, so I thought I would pick my yarn first. My good buddy told me to get a normal yarn and nothing crazy with texture while I learn. She said "it will make it easier to see what you're doing".

Next I walked over to the needles. I had no idea which was better...wood??? plastic??? so I bought both. I'll let you know later which one I liked more.

Here I am picking my yarn

Thanks for coming along and I hope you enjoyed this little time out with Heidi {me}.

Fingers crossed this project will turn out well.
Now I'm off to Youtube to watch the how to videos
