Can I AW a shit ton of my holiday knitting?

[firelight1210]

I learned to knit about two months ago and guy this crazy idea to knit Christmas gifts for my family. So I've been a crazy knitting lady, but I'm just about done and wanted to show off. I'm not sure if these pictures will work, but here goes.

For my mom. It's a cowl.


My mil.


A blanket for my baby nephew.


My sil.


My bil. I fucked up the bottom of this one.


And a shark for my grandmother.


I have a scarf blocking right now for my h's grandmother and am working on a scarf for my brother and then I am DONE!

extremely proud of myself, lol.

Those are really nice - great job!

[marcyiam]

Nice job - and you picked it up quickly!

And I love that green, so pretty.

[rosiebear]

Those are gorgeous and I'm sure everyone will love your gift the most!

TWO MONTHS AGO? That is so impressive. I think it took me 1 month to finish my first dishcloth...poorly.

Damn! I learned about the same time you did and am nowhere NEAR the expert you are! Nice job!!!


Also- I'm dying at the "shark" for your grandma. Lol

Lol, oops! Should be shawl, ha.

Thanks everyone! I've been a bit... obsessed id's what my h would call it, but I like to think of it as determined, lol. YouTube is extremely helpful when learning!

Impressive! You have been crazy knitting! Start a blog ASAP. You got the skills and the time.

[wowhead]

Holy shit! Those all look amazing.

[lilibet]

Very impressive!

[kaybee85]

Those look great. I especially love the pattern for your MIL

[tacokick]

Only 2 months?? That is amazing

[emsumm]

You're like a one-woman sweat shop!

[WOT?*]

I can't believe you learned just two months ago. Those are outstanding.

Can you link to patterns? I'm knitting a blanket for my son for college and I'm doing strips of different patterns that I'm stitching together, and I'd like to try the ivory one-- I think it's your nephew's blanket.

also, you did a fantastic job. Really lovely.

[livinitup]

Gorgeous. All of them!

That pattern is called the breezy baby blanket, www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/breezy-baby-blanket. Pretty simple! I can link the rest if you'd like tomorrow when I get to work and a computer.

Good job!

These are amazing! I am even more impressed that your hands are still functioning (mine start to cramp up after too much knitting).

[FastHands]

Woah! I have crochetted for 20+ years but am so intimidated and equally fascinated by knitting. This is crazy impressive!!

[curtains]

Wow!!!!! I have been trying to knit for a while now and would love to know how you learned so fast and well. Did someone teach you, YouTube, books?
I love your work!!

[kayakjenn]

Amazing! I would think you've been knitting for years!

[dojo]

Wow!!! Those are so beautiful!! You must have worked your butt off on them! They are impressive all by themselves, but the fact that you learned to knit only two months ago is incredible! My projects after two months of knitting looked SO wonky. Yours are gorgeous! Now that you have the bug you won't want to stop!

[Deleted]

I want to learn to knit very badly. These are beautiful.

[seabitch]

Love these! And would also love to learn to knit.

[my4girls]

woah, those are amazing! you have some skills!

[So_Fetch]

2 months?! They are so pretty. I love the pattern on the one for MIL.

[KaraOrNot]

Dang! I love the one for your BIL.

[tictac]

Holy crap, I can't believe you only learned 2 months ago! Those look AMAZING!

[CrazyLucky]

Awesome. I really like the one for your MIL
