My initial plans for my blog

Hello and welcome to my first blog entry.
OK, to set the scene, around 2 months ago(early June 2008) it was a bitterly cold Winter morning here in Melbourne Australia. My car was covered in ice, it was dark outside, and my only hand knitted beenie that I had purchased some years previous and worn pretty much religiously ever since was wet in the wash. It was simply too cold to not have a hat on and too early for shops to be open. I had to put gas in my car, and after doing so at a local petrol station and venturing inside to pay, I noticed some beenies on a stand in the corner. I picked one I liked, not noticing any pricing on the stand, made my way to the counter, and after finding out it was in excess of $30 I was to dumbfounded to do anything else but pay for it. I left that petrol station with only one thing in mind, I was going to learn how to knit.
I asked around and quickly made the decision that I would teach myself, the people that I knew that knew anything about knitting, didn't know enough to be able to competently teach me, and so my quest began........


Initially this will be a knitting blog, covering the hurdles and triumphs I encounter while teaching myself to knit. I'd like to think I will be documenting my projects, the skills I learn, the answers to problems I solve aswell as promoting the resources most helpful to me in my quest.
