Crafting Firsts

I've recently had several crafting "firsts."

My first time knitting socks, my first pair of fingerless mitts, my first crocheted wire necklace, my first cardigan.


I am already on the second pair of fingerless mitts, have finished a second pair of socks, and purchased the yarn I need to make another cardigan.  I may even make another crocheted wire necklace.

Aren't "firsts" fun!

Happy Crafting♥
