So now, my knitting story... I just started knitting in November 2006 and the first few things were little. This hat made for my son was the first long-term knitting committment I had. It's a back-n-forth pattern that is just seamed up the side. The top actually has a weird swirl effect because somehow I managed to purl when I was supposed to knit and didn't realize for a few rows. My son, god love him, said "mom, that's really cool looking!" and the swirl stayed. 
Along the way I have knitted a couple of bears for Mother Bear Project http://www.motherbearproject.org/index.html The first one was following their instructions to the letter (except for complete confusion on how to pick up stitches) and the yarn was supplied by them in a kit. The second one was when I was smarter and designed more by me. To be honest, I haven't shipped her off yet. I'm kind of attached but I will, I promise!
Also have made pillow, purse, baby blanket, scarf, slippers.... I don't want to post all of them right now, but to continue the story.... most recently were the "cheater" socks. Tube socks with no heel so I could learn how to knit in the round. They are not flourescent no matter what they look like. (and isn't the kitty cute? she loves me knitting cuz I sit still) While knitting these I met crazy knitting lady in Borders who I adore,
and not just cuz she has sent me yarn *grin* With her encouragement and taunting (have to turn a heel to be a capital-K Sock Knitter) I am working on the blue one and hopefully when it is finished soon, I will start the second one so it's not lonely. I have however turned the heel and was rather proud of this!I believe the next project in the queue will be a present for my sister that I don't want to post because I might actually let her see this blog :)

Hey, am I late for the party? Congrats on your baby-bloglet... tons of pics! (evidently I'm the only blogger on the slow learning curve!) This whole 'Bill/Boris has his own blog to hog the computer thing is wearing thin; he's totally cute when he sets down to blog, but he's cutting into my tap-tap time.
Anyhooo, I'm so glad you made the leap into blogdom... I have to go put your link up on MY blog now. p.s. i saw one of my comments quoted on a blog today... how weird/crazy/excited does that make me? Yeah, I thought about that much, too! 'stalker'Cami
welcome to the wonderful world of blogging.
It's more like an addiction, really.
"Hi, my name is melly and I'm a blogging addict."
Aren't there worse things, really?
Happy new blog!
quickquesh: what is an ERP BPA? I mean, I've seen you, and you looked totally normal, but I look at your profile and you're an erpbeepa and I'm concerned. What do they *do* to you? It doesn't interfere with knitting, does it? 'Cuz I'll totally come kick some, er, what ever the opposing thing of an erpbeepa is... if it has a bum. I gotta get out more. Tomorrow is an early day. I'm taking everyone with me to let the phone company guy in to put in the phone/DSL lines. Hope you are fine. I hope you win some yarn, even if you can't technically knit it. Cami
