my first post!!

I am relatively new to this blog thing so I thought I would try it out. I've been knitting sense I was about 9 years old but haven't really gotten into it until just recently I was more into crochet.
I all started when I wanted to make a cabled hat for one of my nieces in Michigan. If any of you are familiar with crochet it is best left for lace work because that was the most ugly hat I ever saw!! and really bulky. so I decided then and there I wanted a more professional look. I picked up my knitting needles and got to work! I haven't been able to put them down sense!
I think socks are my favorite. I just love all the amazing yarns they have on the market. EBay has become my best source for yarn because my area here in Florida has only one yarn shop and its not much. well thats all for now just thought it would be fun to try out more later!
