Hats and dogs

Six years ago my friend Beth taught me to knit. I never got beyond the 6th row but carried around the yarn and needles she got me all this time. This summer I stumbled on it and re-learned how to knit with my friend YouTube. Really, you can learn anything on YouTube. I tackled scarves and hit up my local yarn store, Needlerock Fiberarts, for more supplies. I ventued into circular needles and knitting in the round.
I'm now on hat #4 and cruising along with help from knitting books from the library (I like the kids ones as they keep it simple), checking out knit hats that Beth has gifted me and of course a bit of YouTube....
Dave is into the new hobby as he is in the thick of snowmaking and it's cold out while these wool hats are toasty. The pups would rather go play but cope well with quiet nights curled up on the couch.
