No, and I'm not sure it will matter anyway because I don't think I'm very good at knitting. I had a knitting lesson yesterday. It was basically one on one, just shaky handed me and the very patient instructor. The lesson lasted 2 1/2 hours and I am ashamed of what I accomplished in that amount of time.
Oh well, at least the yarn is pretty and I love the feel of the bamboo needles. I'm going to stick with it and hope I improve. At the rate I'm going I should have a scarf knitted by next winter... for Toby.
Speaking of Toby, I haven't posted a picture of Mr. Cutestpupintheworld in a while.
He's laying in the middle of a pile of fabric scraps. I have a large canvas bin full of scraps. When I say full I mean it is crammed so tight with little scraps of fabric it is about to bust. This morning I was searching for.... I don't even remember what for, but I pulled about half the fabric out and dumped it on the floor. Toby immediately jumped in the pile and started running off with fabric. He played and played with that pile and when he was tired he got on top and went to sleep. Here's a view from above.
No tutus to share yet but I did finish the wallets for Wendy.
I also made matching key chains and travel tissue pouches. Barring any kinks in my plans, tutus will be debuting tomorrow. See ya then.
So glad to see that Toby is settling into your family. I'm so jealous of your bin of scraps -- I'm getting into some scrappy patchworky stuff right now, and I wish I had a collection of scraps like that to work from!!

It's NOT about whether or not you need a new hobby....the YARN is calling you. (that was exactly what I said, do I need another hobby I don't have time for?) And nobody's knitting looks great the first time out....it just takes practice. Don't give up! The first time I tried to knit (last winter) I felt like I was all thumbs. Just keep knitting, knitting, knitting......
