Here’s the start of my newest sweater. My Mom got me this yarn for Christmas and it has just been sitting in my stash taking up space. I hope to power through the rest of the sweater in about a month, I think any sooner is pretty unreasonable for me haha. I found the pattern in the latest Love of Knitting magazine, it has thumb holes in the sleeves! Which is why I chose to knit this sweater in the first place…
I also got to go explore The Needlecraft Barn, our local yarn shop, in Morgantown this past Saturday and it was awesome! The Needlecraft Barn is packed from top to bottom with all things related to needle work, from embroidery to knitting to cross stitch, I had a really great time there and hope to go back soon.
In other news, I’ve started learning how to ride horses, something I’ve wanted to do since I was little. One thing I didn’t realize was how many muscles a person has in their body that they never use…I didn’t know about the muscles in my legs until it hurt to sit down haha. So far, apart from the soreness, it’s actually going pretty well. Apparently I’m not half bad at it, and I haven’t fallen off yet *knocks on wood*
