Developing a New Talent

Before re-teaching myself to crochet when I was pregnant with Zaylee (I had learned the basics as a child, but forgotten pretty much everything), I tried my hand at knitting. When I realized that I couldn't figure out how to hold the needles and how to purl vs. knit, and the instructions for just about any project were practically a foreign language to me, I decided that me learning to knit was a lost cause and I switched my attentions to crocheting.

Now, five years later, I'm finally deciding to pick up the needles and try knitting again. This time, with more experience working with yarn, and with the aid of several Youtube videos, I am finally getting it! Crochet is still much easier for me, but at least now I can hold the knitting needles properly, instead of having to hold one between my legs...


In practicing, I ended up making a cute little headband for Audrey. The flower is crocheted, but the band itself is knitted. It turned out so cute!


Soon after I took these pictures, though, Zaylee took the headband and claimed it for herself. Audrey hasn't worn it since.


That's okay. It's super cute on Zaylee too.
