Just finished another one. I don't know about you, but I keep making damn pouches. However, I did learn the purling stitch and how to add different colored yarn (hence the black stripes). I wonder if I'm ready to make a hat?

Knitting Update #3: Earth Toned POUCH
So I finally finished the pouch today. It was technically finished 2 days ago, but I spent a while figuring out what the hell I wanted to do with it. So I took a break from it and decided to teach myself how to crochet. I only got the basic chain stitch down, but I decided it was perfect to be the drawstring if I turned my knitted square into a bag. And so, that is what happened.

Knitting Update #2: Earth Toned Unknown
Alright, so on my next knitting project, I chose an earthy toned yarn and decided to make a scarf. Lo and behold, I've grown tiresome and annoyed of the unraveling and fraying pieces of yarn that I figured that this so-called scarf is going to turn out crappy if I continue. I had casted on about 42 stitches and I realized 42 is too wide, especially since knitted yarn tends to stretch out anyway. I should have done about 25-30 cast-ons.
So I'm not sure what it's going to be, but for now, I'm thinking to end it sooner and make it into a drawstring pouch? I don't know. On the other hand, I also want to end it sooner because I want to learn how to crochet as it, in my opinion, looks faster and neater.
We'll see.

Knitting Update: The Phone Pouch
Hey guys... I finally finished my first knitting project! I'm sOOooooOo excited! I decided I wanted to make something small, so a cell phone pouch sounded like a good start. I learned the basic cast-on, knit stitch, and bind-off.
