Figuring out Knitting

I am knitting Frosted Diamonds  in a beautiful sunny yellow color.  The yarn is so nice, the drape of this shawl is going to be wonderful.

and so easy to make.   I can't wait to make these bears that were shown on Weavezine and the Lionbrand blog.  Here is a link to the article to make the bears and a link to how to weave on a pot holder loom, here . I'm putting a picture because it is so wonderfully styled. 

Beanie for Mark Originally uploaded by karyn_settles My BIL just called and told me that he got his beanie . . . my DH dropped it by. He said "You hit a homerun with this one!" He loved it! I'm so happy!

I am too excited!  The ladies at theYarncraft podcast, here  were talking about teaching others to knit and they mentioned a post I made to their group on Ravelry  .  I feel so lucky to be mentioned . . . and lucky for the reason . . . teaching a friend to knit.  A while back my friend "M" mentioned to my DH that she was thinking about taking knitting classes.  DH mentioned to her that I'm a knitter and told me she wanted to learn.  I immediately offered to teach her.   She is an amazing person and so fun to be around.  Well, she did come over and we are continuing to see each other for "lessons" on a fairly regular basis.  I feel blessed to have the chance to teach someone the craft.  She is learning quickly and getting more confident in her crafting each time I see her.
