I am Amanda, I am married and have three kids, I live in rural Upstate New York. I have found a new passion for knitting. When I was a young girl a friends mom showed me the very basics of how to knit. I never really did anything with it except make a simple scarf here and there, mostly with Fun Fur so you couldnt see my mistakes. In January 2011 I picked up my needles again and started knitting basic things. This ignited something within me, a mental stimulation I had been missing. I am still learning as I go and I enjoy the challenge of trying something new and seeing what my interpretation of the pattern ends up looking like. Since I live in no man's land, I dont have access to a LYS, in fact I dont believe Ive ever been in one :( So I am stuck with what yarn I can get my hands on and I havent braved ordering online (not sure why). I am on Ravelry, and you can find me as AmandaLL. I spend a lot of time looking at other peoples work and deciding if it is something I am able to do. I recently surprised myself by starting and completing Abalone and also Pedicure Socks that were a bit more of a challenge.
I will try to post most of my knitting malarchy on this blog to save my poor family from having to listen to me. Let this be a warning....sometimes Im a really good blogger and sometimes I down right suck.
