Thanks to winning a brilliant auction on eBay (two actually), I'm not the proud owner of a set of bamboo crochet hooks, and a set of 13 pairs of differently sized bamboo knitting needles; all for the price of $25.00 including postage! WOOT! This makes me extremely happy, because I noticed in Hobby Lobby yesterday that one pair of bamboo needles could run nearly $10.00! Go me.
I also purchased the knitting CD-Rom tutorial. I am sooo ready to go with learning to knit! I will be posting pictures of my attempts and early work. I am doing this for two reasons. One, feedback. I will need tips, hints and comments to help me improve. Secondly, documentation. I want a visual of how I have improved, so when I get discouraged I can remind myself of how far I have come.
I want to get basic stitches down so I can move on to a simple pair of socks! I'm so excited at the prospect of knitting socks!
Numbers on my C2C group are lower than I'd like. A paranormal group started up after me and they have three times as many members. I wish there was a way to offer an advertising exchange with the other group. Maybe I'll check into it.
Hopefully I'll have some 'starting' pictures to show you by the end of the weekend!

WOOT for the hooks and needles! Don't you just love ebay?
I so do! I broke down and went ahead and won an entire set of DP's, too. Up until the last 20 minutes I had them for 99 cents, but it went up to $28.00. *sigh* Oh well, still cheap if you compare to store prices.
